The article seems to be from early 2023 written by Isabel Marquez. https://jazzfuel.com /best-female-drummers/ Women in jazz may have been under-represented in the history books, but things are quite rightly changing. In this article, writer Isabel Marquez highlights a selection of the best female drummers, both from past eras and the modern jazz scene.  Of course, the list could go on, so feel free to use the comments section at the end! The drums are one of the main instruments that exist under clear gender stereotypes and categorization.

The inspiration comes from drummer  Billie Davies  personal experience of living at the historic Hillview Apartments on Hollywood Boulevard in 2009.

One hundred thousand people were ordered to flee the area. When asked what her thoughts about the fires that were ravaging the Los Angeles area, did Davies think that it was s...
