My grandmother was a trombonist in this band! Thanks so much for posting this footage, it's really invaluable for me. They are so amazing.

I am currently caring for one of the sweehearts! She has such fond memories and her eyes light up when she speaks of those 'good ol days'!

I don't know where you got this but THANK YOU. Anna Mae was my aunt and I always thought she was so glamorous. She and all the women in the band were just the best. I appreciate her music much more now that I am older.

Sounds better than 99% of all the male jazz I've ever heard, and better looking than a 100%!

they could match every male band from that era

My mom, Norma Carson Newman, played trumpet with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. Not sure if she was with them in '46. The stories she used to tell were always riveting. She passed in late 2005. I'm SO missing her today. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you!

I just read about these women for the first time in an article on CNN today. They are going into the Smithsonian. Very cool.
