Lesa Terry and the Women's Jazz Orchestra, 2008
2 years ago
Lesa Terry and the Women's Jazz Orchestra is a documentary short that peeks into the rare convergence of Western classical music and jazz. Lesa Terry, a prolific composer and musician, offers a unique interpretation of symphonic and sacred vocal music, drawing on African and Western classical traditions. Assembling an all-women’s jazz orchestra in the tradition of the 1940’s International Sweethearts of Rhythm, they add a unique palette of instrumentation to create their sound. With Nedra Wheeler on bass, Maria Martinez on drums, Lori Andrews on jazz harp, and a big-band section, their music provides a rhythmic foundation with improvisational expression. Directed by Leena Pendharkar, Produced by Megha Kadakia. Best Short, First Place, CinemaJAZZ, Kansas City Filmmakers' Jubilee.

I love what Lesa Terry brings to the Jazz scene with all the beauties and color. Lesa you are a Maestro. Pretty nice flavor to the Jazz scene by these ladies. Where are you based.
These pieces are classics, surely they are in a class or the likes of Theo Monk, Herbie Hancok, the Marsallis brothers, Earl Klugh, Al Jarreau, Ramsey Lewis, Kurt Elling, and Chris Botti. I would like to get in touch with Lesa Terry my email is Shamakudza@yahoo.com
