Yep, and I'm delighted that the festival presents it as simply the "nice lineup" that it is and buries the following in the website's About section:
The Wall Street Jazz Festival came into being in 2004 when John Bilotti and Peggy Stern were attending a jazz festival and noticed there were no women included in the line-up. "What's wrong with this picture?" gave way to "Well, what are we going to do about it?" And so, a concept was born: a jazz festival where the traditions meet the progressives, and all the leaders are women.
