I heard it on NPR: Ladies Jazz It Up

The seventh and latest CD in the I heard it on NPR series!

From a classic 1930s recording of Billie Holiday singing Some Other Spring to an original 2002 performance of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Marian McPartland and Nancy Wilson demonstrating the simple pleasures of singing and swinging on Talk of the Nation, I heard it on NPR: Ladies Jazz It Up encompasses a wide range of emotion and style that showcases women singers who have advanced the art of jazz over the last 75 years. These ladies’ performances are milestones in the history of jazz that you’ll want to enjoy again and again!
