Women in Jazz: Mary Osborne
Guitarist Mary Osborne started her career playing banjo in her father’s ragtime band. By chance, she caught a gig with Charlie Christian, and knew immediately that jazz guitar was what she wanted to play. Throughout her career, she collaborated with many of the greats – Dizzy Gillespie, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, and Coleman Hawkins, to name just a few. She recorded several critically-acclaimed albums and was a popular draw at jazz festivals worldwide.
