Now here’s a coltrane of a question, high school jazz bands are largely gender-balanced, so why do women account for 10 per cent of uni students?

No, the answer is not, they have better things to do than listen to 27 minute versions of My Favourite Things.

If Uni Sydney knows why it is not telling – but it is starting on doing something about it, with its Conservatorium of Music announcing a scholarship and mentoring programme. Equity in Jazz, “seeks to provide educators and role models for young women who may want to consider a career in jazz.”

The first four participants are Freyja Garbett, Jess Green, Tamara Murphy and Gian Slater.
