On Tuesday, March 29th at noon, the SMSU Jazz Ensemble's 2022 Guest Jazz Artist, Allison Miller presented a session of "Women in Jazz".  The presentation focuses on Mary Lou Williams as one of the central figures in the development of jazz as well as many current female jazz artists who continue to push the genre.  This link represents the first hour of the lecture.  The remaining minutes are on the second link.

Along with concerts on Monday, March 28th in Montevideo and Tuesday, March 29th in the SMSU Theatre, this session was part of the 2022 Jazz Artist Residency. This activity is funded in part with a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council made possible by an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State's general fund.
