April is Jazz History and National Abuse Prevention Month
This may look like a personal plug
but it's not! The mission of promoting women musicians will
be well served by the publication of my paper "Conscious
Inclusion of Women Musicians" that
was
accepted to be published and presented at the British & American Studies (BAS) 2012 Conference May 17-19, 2012, in Timisoara, Romania.

1983, JoAnne Brackeen recorded with Freddie Hubbard and the Kool
Jazz All-Stars on Atlantic Records, in Manhattan. My song "Sweet
Return" became the title tune. I must say that JoAnne's
scoring of my tune was just phenomenal. She is by far one of the
most amazing Jazzwomen I've ever encountered. ~

Kathie
DeShaw, Founder and Executive Director of United States Artists
National
research commissioned between 2000 and 2003 validated what
many already knew: That most artists working in their
chosen fields just couldn't sustain themselves financially
— that they needed jobs in restaurants, schools, stores
just to make ends meet, leaving little time to create the
great works of which they are capable. They needed proper
places to work and live and reasonably-priced health
insurance. In other words, funding. To join as an artist
