In ‘Women’s Words, Sisters Stories;, vocalist Ineza and the Alex Webb Trio explore the repertoire penned by the great female songstresses – Billie’s ‘Don’t Explain’, Peggy’s ‘It’s a Good Day’, Abbey’s ‘Throw it Away’ and many more, including poet Fran Landesman’s classic lyric ‘Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most’.
Bringing it up to date are also songs by Jazzmeia Horn, Cecile Mclorin Salvant and Rachelle Ferrell.
