Washington Women in Jazz

WIJSF International President Biggi Vinkeloe (sax, flute) will perform with The Howard Trio with Amy Bormet (p) and Tina Raymond (d) at the 9th annual Washington Women in Jazz Festival on March 31, 2019, that features a Young Artist Showcase, business panels/discussions, jam sessions, and a diverse series of concerts celebrating women in jazz. Created by Amy Bormet in 2011, Washington Women in Jazz hosts an annual festival (WWJF) each March to celebrate the women of the DC jazz community.
