Jazz Bridge presented A Powerful, Talented Woman of Jazz last night and she meant business!!!

Saxist Fostina Dixon from Delaware, mowed everyone down with her leadership and sax prowess, proving Women are bosses in the band!

Of course, you can’t loose with a boss ensemble headed by area legend on the keyboard, Dennis Fortune and badass bass man Michael Cruze of Fortune,Vincent(RIP) and Cruze fame. Drummer Kevin James held it down for everyone exciting the audience with his directed drumming. Y’all missed a great one!

Love Lady Drummers!

'Vivid and always entertaining, The Lady Swings tells Dottie Dodgion's story with the same verve and straight-ahead honesty that powered her playing.

Dottie Dodgion is a jazz drummer who played with the best. A survivor, she lived an entire lifetime before she was seventeen. Undeterred by hardships, she defied the odds and earned a seat as a woman in the exclusive men’s club of jazz. Her dues-paying path as a musician took her from early work with Charles Mingus to being hired by Benny Goodman at Basin Street East on her first day in New York. From there she broke new ground as a woman who played a “man’s instrument” in first-string, all-male New York City jazz bands. Her inspiring memoir talks frankly about her music and the challenges she faced, and shines a light into the jazz world of the 1960s and 1970s.'
