Sisters of Jazz hylder de skjulte, succesrige damer, som står bag tekst, musik og arrangementer til nogle af vores mest spillede og mest elskede jazz standards gennem tiderne. Nogle af dem, der står på programmet er Dorothy Fields, Nancy Hamilton, Marian McPartland og Mary Lou Williams. Konstellationen Sisters of Jazz blev oprindeligt sat sammen til en koncert i Sverige i 2014 af den svenske jazzsangerinde og sangskriver Anna Pauline. Da koncerten, som var en hyldestkoncert til blev flot modtaget blandt publikum og den svenske presse, besluttede man sig for at danne et fast orkester. Et dameorkester, hvor man ikke kun hyldede kvindelige vokalister, men også komponister og tekstforfattere inden for jazz. Foruden Anna Pauline består gruppen af Amanda Sedgwick på altsaxofon, Lis Wessberg på basun, Catrine Ullerup på piano, Ida Hvid på bas og Cornelia Nilsson på trommer.
