On Wednesday, April 29 at 6 p.m., on the street in front of Lincoln Center
(NYC), Jazz Women and Girls Advocates will be hosting a party and
protest to support blind auditions and open job postings for the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra. In its 28 years of existence, the JaLC orchestra has
never had a permanent woman player.
This type of activism is exactly what is needed to instigate
major changes in institutionalized gender discrimination. Obviously, we still
have a long way to go, and trumpeter, bandleader, educator and Jazz Women and
Girls Advocates chairperson Ellen Seeling is not afraid to point out this fact.
Check out the event flyer below by clicking on it, and please share widely. Thanks.
