Jazz has always welcomed female vocalists, but instrumentalists like Monika Herzig struggle for recognition. “Advocacy was built in from the beginning of my career,” says Herzig, a pianist who grew up in Germany. “I’m far away from anything you traditionally imagine a real jazz player is.”
Now that she is an award-winning recording artist, author, scholar, and lecturer, Herzig, 56, is in a position to advocate for women. Her all-female ensemble, Sheroes, has recorded three albums, and she is currently co-editing a book titled
Jazz and Gender (Routledge), which will be published in 2022.
