O’s Notes: Pianist and composer Monika Herzig invites some of her mentors, her heroes in the jazz space to perform on“Sheroes. As you may have guessed, this is a performance by all female musicians! While jazz is still a male dominated art form, women have made considerable contributions and this is just a glimpse! Ingrid Jensen (t), Ada Rovatti (sax), Leni Stern (g) and Mayra Casales (perc) are just a few of the talented women contributing to the effort. The original music is engaging, as is the transformation of the R&B classic “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. Take time to sit down, relax and embellish all elements of a strong set.
