GABRIELE NEHER draws attention to an astoundingly skilled Flemish painter who defied the notion that women cannot paint like men
THE Rwanda-born singer Ineza, says of her striking and beautifully sung first album Women’s Words, Sisters’ Stories: “Its unifying theme is championing the works of female composers, singers and songwriters in the jazz world.”
Her accompanying band are all women, with the exception of pianist Alex Webb: bassist Charlie Pyne, Katie Patterson on drums, trombonist Rosie Turton and tenor saxophonist Maddy Coombs. There is also an all-women string quartet of violinists Johanna Burnheart and Annalise Lam, with Julia dos Reis on viola and cellist Miranda Lewis-Brown.
