For the first few festivals, McPartland performed and Feather announced the shows. She brought in fellow British expatriate Leonard Feather, the jazz journalist and presenter who had long been supportive of women jazz musicians. The festival incorporated as a nonprofit corporation the Articles of Incorporation stated its purpose as educating the public about jazz through concerts, workshops, clinics, and вЂњscholarships for students of jazz.вЂќ The WJF logo, designed by musician and board member Mike Ning, featured the symbol for woman, в™Ђ.ДЇor advice and resources, Gregg and Comer turned to jazz pianist Marian McPartland, a wholehearted supporter who joined the WJF board, provided contacts, enlisted performers, and signed on to perform. Some of the younger local musicians, such as Bobby Watson and Pat Metheny, had moved on to bigger cities, but those who stayed, such as Mike Metheny and Paul Smith, were major contributors to starting and sustaining the WJF. The Kansas City Jazz Incorporated festival had recently ended after 17 years of well received summertime editions. Comer and Gregg, portrayed as goal-driven, level-headed, and possessing the inspiration, energy, and time needed to start and sustain the festival, created an organization, sought artists and venues, raised money, and promoted the plan and the first edition of the festival.ДЇor the site, they chose their hometown, centrally located and carrying a celebrated jazz legacy that still had an influence. The two friends were returning home from a jazz festival in 1977, grousing about the underrepresentation of women musicians in festivals, when Comer made a вЂњradicalвЂќ suggestion: Why not put on a womenвЂ™s jazz festival? They joked about the crazy idea, but then they got serious. The WJF was founded by Carol Comer and Dianne Gregg, jazz journalists and performers in Kansas City. Along with contemporary media and jazz histories, the authorвЂ™s sources included interviews with the festival founders, musicians, and other contributors, as well as black-and-white photos, footnotes, an index, and a bibliography that includes books, videos, films, sound recordings, and web sites. In Changing the Tune, author and music educator Carolyn Glenn Brewer has described the festival performances and provided musical biographies of the major participating artists and less well known performers as well as extensive coverage of the festivalвЂ™s organizational aspects-fundraising, arranging venues, hiring the performers, and producing the shows. The Kansas City WomenвЂ™s Jazz Festival (WJF) was the first jazz festival to feature women musicians.

It is in the collection, вЂњGloryвЂќ, and the lead sheet is available for free at emmanuelworship. It is a loud 6/8 song that goes way too high for an assembly but is perfect for a youth rally. This is pretty much a straight praise and worship song from emmanuelworship.
