Dottie Dodgion - the pioneering and forgotten female jazz drummer

“I completely recognize that I stand on her shoulders, as [do] all the younger women that came after me . . . whether they know it or not” - drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, who has toured with Herbie Hancock and led late-night bands for Arsenio Hall and Quincy Jones, said about Dottie Dodgion. New Yorker reminds that "Dodgion forged a once legendary but now overlooked career at the conclusion of the big-band era—despite a rocky childhood, difficult marriages, and the steep challenge of breaking into what Enstice called the 'hard-core male jazz fraternity on the drums'".
