About Me:

Diva Joan Cartwright has toured 5 continents and 15 countries including the U.S.A., 8 European countries, Brazil, Mexico, Ghana, Gambia, South Africa, China and Japan, with her swinging brand of jazz and blues.

She is a composer and her book, IN PURSUIT OF A MELODY contains 40 songs and lyrics to standard songs: "A Night in Tunisia" by Dizzy Gillespie, "Blue Bossa" by Kenny Dorham, "Tune Up" by Miles Davis and "Bessie's Blues" by John Coltrane. (LYRICS)

Joan's book also contains two lectures that she's given to over 8,000 children and college students, in U.S., Switzerland, Sicily, China and Japan: WOMEN IN JAZZ and SO, YOU WANT TO BE A SINGER? Her workshops are dynamic and educational, highlighting the pitfalls and benefits of the music business. She contends that, "Knowing music theory is a step in the right direction for any singer who truly wants to excel in the world of music!"

Joan is the only woman in the world with a Jazz and Blues Song Book available at Joan's Bookstore

    I'd love to do that, didn't get that impression frmo the instructions. I do have a lot to say about seniors living actively and purposely and creatives staying on-the-horse or getting back on.

    Thanks.

    Let me know the procedure for just joining the conversation at ellifordyce@msn.com.

    Best,

    Elli

    Maybe we could do a show about musicians who never get to retire because they don't have pensions or health insurance and they must work until they die. So many did that. Let's keep talking this is an interesting thread.

    Hi Joan,
    I'm really enjoying your site. It's great! I love what you're saying about women in jazz as my aunt was Mary Lou Williams. Keep on speaking for all those women in jazz who can't speak for themselves. Thanks for being a voice.
