Welcome to the LondonJazz News 3rd International Women’s Day Special featuring reviews/interviews over 7th and 8th March with some of the amazing women in the Jazz scene. Huge thanks to Sebastian for being as supportive and generous as ever and allowing free rein of the site this weekend.

Special thanks must also go to our friends/contributers/co-conspirators Alison Bentley, Hayley Redmond, Kim Macari, Tina Edwards, Andy Boeckstaens, Kai Hoffman, Kathryn Shackleton and Peter Jones without whom we would not have such an interesting and broad selection of features! We start at 10am today Saturday 7th March and go through till the end of tomorrow.
