Musician and actor Collette Cooper delves into the rich history of female artists who helped develop Blues and Jazz - not just the vocalists like Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith but also the composers, band leaders and soloists. She speaks to broadcasters, writers and many of the up and coming artists on the UK Blues and Jazz scene today to find out what impact women have had and continue to have on this staple of popular culture.
