Four Portraits. Four Women in Jazz.

Archived Broadcast: March 16 -20, 2026

Four women: different stories, different instruments. All of them are topping the Jazz charts and making statements with their work. As we continue our celebration of Women’s History Month, host Bria Woods (who also hosts Women in Jazz on Thursday evenings) is highlighting four women musicians during the Jazz Break at Noon.

Each day we will listen to tunes from their latest releases, we’ll go back in time to their earlier works and also check out notable collaborations.

This program is a snapshot of the innovative work being produced by countless women artists today. It was hard to choose who to spotlight for this show as each of the women featured this week are in great company.
