(UPDATE: December 18, 2021) The artist has notified us to cancel this event due to a surge in COVID-19 cases in NYC. Here's a statement from the artist: "It is with much regret that due to the 135% spike in COVID cases in NYC, we've decided to cancel the Lioness gig at Flushing Town Hall tomorrow. We don't want to jeopardize the health and safety of the audience and the band at this point in time. We're very sorry to do this at the last minute, but we feel like this is in the best interest of everyone."

The third concert in the Lioness™: Women in Jazz Concert Series features the Lioness Collective sextet performing jazz compositions written by the band members and other female composers in jazz.
Lioness is a collective of female jazz instrumentalists living in New York City whose mission is to inspire and educate the community at large by sharing music created by women in jazz, both past and present. Through outreach in the schools and in community spaces for the general public as well as providing networking opportunities for female musicians, Lioness performs and conducts workshops focusing on the contributions of women in jazz. Their debut release Pride and Joy, on Posi-Tone records was met with much critical acclaim, drawing rave reviews from Downbeat, Jazz Times, All About Jazz, and many other publications.
If there's a line to hang over this release, it's I am woman, hear me roar and rejoice… six female instrumentalists with serious firepower and vision, and then he set them loose on a program that highlights their composing chops while also shining a light on some respected elders—some present, others dearly departed—of the same sex. (Daniel Bilawsky, All About Jazz)
