NAWW member, trumpeter and music historian Susan Fleet invites you to visit her updated website where she turns the spotlight on unsung women musicians. A monthly feature profiles a fabulous woman instrumentalist, historical or current, jazz or classical. Featured this month: flutist Doriot Anthony Dwyer, the first woman to win a principal position in a major U.S. orchestra. The website address is http://www.susanfleet.com

Previously featured women are placed in the Archives and include:

**** NEA Jazz Master, bandleader-composer Toshiko Akiyoshi, nominated for 14 Grammys

**** Trumpeter Edna White, first female graduate of Julliard (1906) and the first trumpeter ever to play a recital in Carnegie Hall (1947).

**** NEA Jazz Master, trombonist Melba Liston, who toured widely with Dizzy Gillespie and collaborated for 40 years with acclaimed jazz pianist-composer Randy Weston.

Also featured on the website is Susan’s solo trumpet CD. Baroque Treasures for Trumpet and Organ won critical acclaim in Fanfare (“assured and musical”) and American Record Guide (“flawless technique and tasteful dynamics”). You can listen to samples, read the reviews and purchase the CD on Susan’s website.

A trumpeter whose professional career began in her teens, Susan performed widely in the Boston-Providence area for thirty-five years. While teaching at Brown University, Wheaton College, UMass-Lowell and Berklee College of Music, she played musicals, operas, orchestral and chamber brass concerts, and solo recitals. At Berklee, she created and taught a course about 20th Century women musicians. Her biographical entries in Scribners’ American Biography include jazz singer Carmen McRae, pianist Hazel Scott and conductor Antonia Brico. In 2001 she moved to New Orleans where she lectures on jazzwomen at various venues.
