Without searching too hard I can think of Lil Harding, Nina Simone and Diana Krall-all pianists, as jazz players.(I am not counting jazz singers).
Are there any ladies who have played other instruments, such as, saxes or brass.
There must be plenty ?

Since interest in this thread seems to have wained, and because the Gallery function is not currently operating, perhaps I can use the space to show some of my photos and painting photos?
For example the full painting my "Dinosaur" post was derived from.

If you haven't heard the phenomenal Double Bassist named Esperanza, download or buy her recordings - She rocks...

I've pondered for a while who i can think of as the earliest famous jazz instrumentalist. It seems there weren't many prominent ones before Carla Bley and Alice Coltrane had their breakthrough. I guess Ethel Smith if you count her as jazz, but there ought to be more i'm just not thinking about...

Hi Panos,

She does a bass vamp with her feet that will cause even Ron Carter to blush :grin::grin::grin:

Hi Colin
I feel so embarassed.
I truly thought the thread was dead so started to use it to experiment with images
because the main image system was not working at that time.
please everybody forgive my foolishment (However the photo is of my painting of Sacre Coeur).
There has now been a pretty good set of posts to the initial thread thanks to CD for taking it on.
