We'd be lying to ourselves if we didn't recognize the fact that women have to go the extra mile...even though we've made progress, if you just take a look around, you'll see that there's still more to be done. But, it makes my soul smile to see female trailblazers out there, doing their thing, despite opposition. One such name was the fearless Melba Liston: one of the first female trombonists to play in big bands during the 1940's-1960's. When I was the musical director/arranger for Dizzy's Big Band State Department tour back in '56, I had Melba on as a trombonist/arranger & man I'm tellin' ya, she was IT. In the all of the male environments we continuously found ourselves in, not only did she keep up, she was one hell of a LEADER. She continued to face misogynistic ideals throughout her career, but that never kept her down...If she were alive today, I know she would be so proud to see all of the little girls playing in bands, because you can't imagine what she had to go through, especially as a black female. Always remember & learn about those who came before you, because without them, you wouldn't be where you are today...Melba, Happy Birthday baby lady! Keep kickin' it up there as much as you did down here!! ?: G. Marshall Wilson
