Four Women In Action
Texts by Jim Hoey and Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi
Recently in New York City, listeners at places like The Stone and the Galapagos Art Space experienced a fresh wave of female artists passing through, artists that bring unique energy to their instruments and come ready to explore and expand on the vision they’ve formulated over time.
