Monika Herzig • Sheroes 10th Anniversary Tour
This fourth project under the banner Sheroes, an all-female band spearheaded by pianist, prolific composer and arranger Monika Herzig, is simultaneously a celebration of the group’s 10th anniversary and a salute to their perseverance. Back in 2014, Herzig’s idea was to bring together fellow women jazz musicianswith the goal of presenting powerful role models on stage as a way of breaking somelingering stereotypes; a path initially paved by Sherri Maricle and the DIVA Jazz Orchestra in the ‘90s. That groups like Artemis and similar initiatives have since followed the trail that Sheroes helped blaze is proof their efforts have paid off.The various Sheroes ensembles over time represent an extended family of bandleaders in their own right. All In Good Time is their latest step in their ongoingmission to elevate some of these iconic composersand players. “It was great havingfellow bandleaders because they understand the challenges of leading projects and canprovide moral support and sometimes share resources,” said Herzig of her fellow Sheroes bandmates. “We also have an understanding that we face similar challenges,and it helps to have a community where you can talk and work towards similar goals.”
This performance is made possible with the support of Jazz Road, a national initiative of South Arts, which is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with additional support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
