Released in March, they made their debut at Carnegie Hall on April 1 to rousing acclaim. The intricate harmonies and distinctive individual styles give pieces like “Combat Boots and Glass Slippers” and the standard, “It Had To Be You,” a resonate glow of purpose and insightful pride as female artists. But imagine my surprise when I received a beautiful video thank you from The Sistering for playing their music on KCSM JAZZ 91. It isn’t just me who has given them spins on JAZZ 91 but as music director for 25 years this is first to receive such a wonderful appreciation for sharing music by such gifted artists with the hippest listeners in the world. Thank you Sisters for thinking of us and we thank you for one of the most memorable recordings thus far for 2026. It's a great musical bouquet for Jazz Appreciation Month!
