International Sweethearts of Rhythm

International Sweethearts of Rhythm

Rosalind Cron (April 23, 1925 – February 7, 2021) was an American alto-saxophonist. During the 1940s she played with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, an all-female jazz big band. She toured and performed for American soldiers in post-war Europe and was broadcast on national and international radio.

Following the war Cron led and participated in female big bands, while teaching extensively. In later life, she lived in Los Angeles. Cron is regarded as a pioneer of female big-band music.
