The Girls in the Band plot

It is often thought that the contribution of women to jazz history is limited to singers and piano players. The women who played in the band are forgotten. These women twirled their hips, wore low-cut dresses, shorts, flirted with the club owners and smiled at the customers… All so they could play the music they loved. In the jazz world, women had to deal with sexism, racism and opposition. The Girls In The Band tells the fascinating, never-before-told story of women's full contribution to jazz history. This documentary finally gives the talented trumpet players, saxophone players and drummers the stage they deserve.
