Jazz Marimba posted:anyone got recs for jazz by women instrumentalists that aren’t the four everyone names? (alice coltrane, dorothy ashby, mary lou williams, lil hardin armstrong) Resident swing dancer showing up to recommend the Shake Em Up Jazz Band for an all-woman group. https://shakeemup.bandcamp.com/album/the-boy-in-the-boat I got to hear them live at a dance event and promptly bought all their albums. They do a good mix of classic covers and original compositions. Little different than what normally gets recommended in the thread, but still worth a listen for non-dancing weirdos. Jazz Marimba posted:idk if this is a joke or just misinformed, but this is the exact opposite of how buddy rich was Yeah, Buddy Rich, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw were all pretty notorious hardasses in the big band / swing music space. Bennie gets some props for having a racially integrated band and sticking up for his black band members at a time when segregation was the norm, but he was still a colossal rear end in a top hat most of the rest of the time. For the guy talking about more big band stuff, my immediate recommendation is always Count Basie. There's just so much amazing stuff in the big band and swing scenes that can be traced back to him.
