Women in Jazz!
One of the themes coming out of the most recent Jazz Congress in New York last month was the growing presence of women in jazz. All we can say is, it’s about time, sisters! Women are often seen as vocalists or behind the piano, but during World War 2, women made up entire jazz orchestras, as seen in the movie “The Girls in the Band.” Today there are several all-female ensembles, including the Diva Jazz Orchestra, Artemis, Maqueque, and many more. Today on KUVO, we’ll be playing all women jazz artists, all day!
40 Years of Community, Culture, Music, and Love!
This month, and throughout the year, we’re counting on people like you to ensure this forward-thinking outlet known as KUVO stands strong. The people have always stood up for the music, and the beauty of our community. For four decades, people have made certain that this station is on-the-air, and that KUVO is the connecting voice for our community. We’re celebrating 40 Years of community, culture, music, and love – because of YOU!
When you love the music as much as we do, why not make it official? Become a member today and show your support for the music today. Join us and be a part of something special!
