Film Club to view 'The Girls in the Band'

OCEANSIDE – The North County Film Club will present the film "The Girls in the Band" on Sunday, Jan. 24, at 3 p.m., at Carmike Theater (formerly Digiplex), College at Mission in Oceanside.

Women have long been marginalized as singers or piano players in the jazz world. Not much has been documented about the enormously talented female musicians. Those who played trumpet, saxophone and drums, etc. struggled for recognition but were cut off from employment by men who appeared not to want them on their bandstands.

The film also traces the history of all-girl bands and their struggles to break through into the male music world.

Showcased in the film are gifted women who are today sharing the stage with the finest jazz musicians.
