[Dixielandjazz] Female Jazz Musicians - exceptions to the rule?

[David M Richoux]

Steve, and all -

Ii should be pointed out that the correct name for that group is  
"Dixieland Dykes + 3" (but I have no idea why they decided to loose  
the obvious connection in their name - maybe a lawsuit from New  
Orleans?)

I have not actually ever heard the group - they do not seem to have  
ever connected to the local San Francisco  Trad Jazz societies...  
outreach, anybody?

(BTW, Bruce Vermazen's Chrysanthemum Ragtime Band was probably the  
first LGBT band in San Francisco - they did some amazingly accurate  
Ragtime transcriptions and sadly did not survive into the CD era.
Bruce later moved to San Diego and formed the  Heliotrope Ragtime  
Orchestra  http://www.sandiegoragtime.com/ )
