New releases from Tara Minton: The Devil Invites You To Dance🥳

Out now!

'In March 2023 I went to México City for three weeks on tour with Ester Wiesnerova. On our third night in that crazy city, we went salsa dancing. That was the beginning of a long and purposeful journey back to myself. The magic of México City woke something in me that had been sleeping for a long time. Something wild.'

The International Sweethearts of Rhythm ❤️

Photo credit unknown ( let us know if you know!)

'The International Sweethearts of Rhythm was a racially mixed sixteen-piece all-women Swing orchestra. The word ‘International’ denoted its diverse ethnic makeup, including African American, Latin, Asian, Jewish, Hawaiian, White and Native American women. It was a formidable competitor to the all-male bands and the most skilled of about 100 all-women orchestras of WWII.

As the orchestra matured and toured nationally, the band attracted professionals. It had excellent improvising musicians executing evocative solos, precision section-work and lively head arrangements. This was the band that forced skeptics to admit that women could play hard-swinging Jazz and hot music, just like the guys. ' Syncopated Times

Starting our week on our playlist is Eve CorneliOus

Recommended by our guest curator Bradley M. Stone🙏

'The new album from veteran jazz vocalist Eve Cornelious once again features her powerful vocal abilities. Her band includes piano, bass, drums, percussion, trombone, saxophone and trumpet – but her voice is always front and center. '

Gretchen Parlato by Lauren Desberg

New album, The Wise Ones, now out!

https://womeninjazzmedia.com/new-releases/2026-07-06-gretchen-parlato-the-wise-ones/

'The Wise Ones reunites Gretchen Parlato with a core circle of collaborators from her earliest recordings, alongside fellow travelers from across her remarkable artistic journey. Robert Glasper, Gerald Clayton, and Mark Guiliana—each now firmly established among the most influential artists of their generation—return to the table, meeting Parlato on a shared plane, shaped by time, trust, and shared history.

“I’m so grateful to have formed such profound bonds with the musicians on this album,” Parlato shares with a smile. “Beyond the artistry, we’re friends—humans on a deeply connected path. Creating this album felt almost effortless… almost. Of course, it required immense thought and care, fueled by love, admiration, and respect.”
