In this episode we are introducing the world to the formidable Grace Fox Big Band, Grace Fox is a 19-year-old trumpeter, composer, arranger and now a bandleader who has debuted an album release called Eleven O'Seven. It features an amazing, ground-breaking all female ensemble. Finding inspiration and empowerment from listening to the powerful all-female ensembles ‘The International Sweethearts of Rhythm’, and ‘The Diva Jazz Orchestra’, Grace was moved to create a big band of her own, one that could feature some of the most formidable young female artists within the jazz idiom. On Eleven O’ Seven, Fox presents decidedly modern arrangements of innovative, insightful and hopeful compositions for a brighter future – and that future is female.
