France gets "Women in Jazz"

"Largement plébiscité par la presse et les lecteurs anglophones, cet ouvrage sur les femmes et le jazz n’est pas encore disponible en français. Cependant, il se lit facilement. En France, on connaît le travail précis de la chercheuse Marie Buscatto sur le sujet. Pour la zone anglophone, qui couvre aussi bien les USA, le Canada que le Royaume-Uni (pour ce qui est des témoignages), c’est Sammy Stein qui maîtrise le champ d’étude. La journaliste et autrice y travaille depuis longtemps et sur plusieurs supports : presse, radio etc."

Jane Cornwell writes,
“Women in jazz: see them? Like, really ‘see’ them? They’re there, and working hard – and out of necessity, harder – to pursue their passion on a playing field that is still shockingly uneven… Jazz remains stubbornly anachronistic, asserts Stein in the intro to this timely book. Disagree? It’s all here, beautifully written, eloquently argued, clear-eyed in its intentions and open in its invitation to come one, come all and sort it out. Jazz is given loose definition and historical context, with an illuminating chapter on New Orleans now and then. We’re re-introduced to pioneers: Melba Liston, whose complex arrangements made Dizzy’s musos gasp. Bessie Smith, buried in an unmarked grave until female fans arranged a headstone. Hazel Scott, targeted by McCarthyites in 1947, and a singer who advised Billie Holiday to “never let them see you cry”. Interviews with today’s women in jazz document challenges faced – from the male gaze to unsisterly women – and rewards reaped. Firsthand accounts from the likes of Terri Lyne Carrington, Georgia Mancio and Claire Martin are elucidating...”
