Reel Jazz: The Girls in the Band + Live Jazz with Danica

Part of the Reel Jazz Series, a collaboration between Cinema Arts Centre and Jazz at the Barn,

this special event pairs a screening of The Girls in the Band—the acclaimed documentary celebrating the pioneering women of jazz—with a live performance by DANICA, an all-women jazz trio featuring Audrey Silver, Alicyn Yaffee, and Hyuna Park.

During the 1930s and 40s, hundreds of women toured the country in glamorous all-girl bands, while others performed alongside their male counterparts in leading jazz ensembles. Yet by the 1950s, many female jazz musicians had disappeared from the professional scene, their stories and accomplishments largely forgotten. Through rare archival footage and personal interviews, The Girls in the Band brings these powerful and inspiring stories back into the spotlight. (2011, 81 mins)

The screening will be paired with a live performance by DANICA, an all-women jazz ensemble led by vocalist Audrey Silver with guitarist Alicyn Yaffee and pianist Hyuna Park. Known for soulful, collaborative, and nuanced performances, the group celebrates the artistry, creativity, and enduring influence of women in jazz.

Together, film and music honor the groundbreaking women whose artistry helped shape jazz history.
