International Sweethearts of Rhythm

In May 1941 the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, an all-female, integrated high school swing band out of Piney Woods, Mississippi, was out on the road doing dance gigs, when they decided to break free, appropriating the bus and taking charge of their own careers — destined to become one of the best swing bands in history. At the Jazz Band Ball is available on PRX, Youtube, and most podcast platforms. Substack kevinmclaughlin.substack.com Patreon patreon.com/AttheJazzBandBall
