Nashville Women in Jazz was born from a dream of increasing visibility and celebrating all the jazz talent that Music City has to offer. Conceived in 2017 by vocalist Abigail Flowers and flautist/multi-instrumentalist Danielle Sopchak alongside the guidance and leadership of vocalist and community organizer Alayna Anderson, the organization has grown to host regular performance residencies at coveted Nashville venues and continues to look for opportunities to expand their reach.

​

Nashville Women in Jazz exists to encourage and empower women and underrepresented people in Nashville’s jazz scene. By promoting performances, providing educational gatherings, and hosting networking events, we seek to connect the active women in jazz of Nashville and amplify their influence in our city.
