It's sad to see how such talented female musicians were overlooked...and still are today.

These ladies were phenomenal!

The clarinet players so played sax instead of the trumpet players.

This was from a short film called VitaPhone B220. Here's another clip. Should go to the YouTube page and read rhe description, it gives a good history of the band and especially the drummer.
