For a century, the closed world of the jazz musician was a men’s club. Today, there’s a new wave of women instrumentalists in jazz—and they’re upending the age-old boys’ club
Half a century ago, the acclaimed music critic George T. Simon said everything you need to know about sexism in jazz: “Only God can make a tree, and only men can play good jazz.” This gender bias has deep roots. Jazz has always been a boys’ club, a macho art form reserved for brash, fast-fingered men living on the road, in cramped quarters, hustling from gig to gig. And despite playing a pioneering role in integration and the civil rights movement, jazz has had an abysmal record on gender.
But hold off, just yet, with that sobbing trombone. Every decade or so, a new crop of artists emerge, seemingly on cue, to make their mark on jazz. And today, it is women at the vanguard, shattering what’s left of jazz’s so-called brass ceiling.
