Professor of Music, composer and bassist Brian Q. Torff traces the evolution of prominent women in jazz, blues, and rock from Ma Rainey and Billie Holiday to Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. "The important contributions of women in popular music have too long been under-rated," said Torff. "I will include my experiences working with Mary Lou Williams and Marian McPartland."
