Sisters in Jazz: A Celebration of Female Musical Talent Across Poland
Sisters in Jazz is a unique project featuring a dynamic lineup of exceptional female musicians from around the world. Launched in August 2015 at the Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival, this innovative initiative was conceived by the acclaimed German saxophonist Nicole Johänntgen. The project quickly gained recognition, leading to the release of a live album, "Sisters in Jazz," recorded during their debut performance and broadcast by Swedish Radio in February 2016.
The core philosophy of Sisters in Jazz is to unite various cultures through the universal language of improvised music, showcasing the virtuosity of female instrumentalists. Each performance is a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries and connect people from different backgrounds.
