One of the best trailers I've ever seen and one of the best filmmakers working today.

Sweethearts of Rhythm. Marylou Williams arranged for Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton and Andy Kirk's 12 Clouds of Joy

Carline Ray played bass with this band.

@teledyn Melba Liston on Trombone; I think Vi Redd is on of the saxophonists

See our JAZZWOMEN DIRECTORY at Women in Jazz South Florida, Inc.

can anyone name ANY of the non-pianist musicians in this trailer? that's pretty shocking really, for 2010. I'm embarrased for us.

i'm excited about this project! when is the documentary going to be released?

[Judychaikin]

Forget about the 7 minute "demo". That's old news made 4 years ago when we first started this project. the Official Trailer is representative of what the film is now.

[domitype]

there is a 7 minute "demo" version that can be seen on Archive (dot) org - a quick Google search turns up the link ( GOT DOCS?: The Girls In The Band )

Wow! This looks SSSOOO AMAZING!!! I can not WAIT for it to come out. I was lucky enough to be in their Photo "A great day in Harlem" (the one with all the women in it). Thanks Judy for all your hard work, & for making SUCH an amazing movie :)

Hey Judy. Looks like a winner to me. Congrats! Can't wait to see it.

What a great subject. Except for one friend of mine a few years back,

I'd never even heard of all girl jazz bands, and I'm wondering why ?

Thanks for doing this documentary and I hope to see it soon.
