Women In Jazz: Fuller, Jensen, & Younger
Our Women in Jazz series continues with the music of three relative newcomers – saxophonist Tia Fuller, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, and harpist Brandee Younger. All three are commanding presences on stage and in the studio. Fuller and Jensen, while leading their own combos, are also in-demand session players. Younger is opening ears once again to the delights of the harp in jazz.
