Leyla Diana Gücük started working on photography and radio programs about jazz performances on stage, saying "I am opening a new page of life" after continuing her professional business life in the information sector until 2008. Gücük, works especially in the context of the theme of 'Woman and Jazz', tells us about the adventure of Women and Jazz.

On my radio programs, I ask my musician guests, "How did you start this music journey?" This time I am answering this question: 'my journey started when I started listening to jazz in front of the music cabinet when I was young.' I am not a musician, but music has been a passion for me. My interest in jazz has been instrumental in researching beyond listening and developing different perspectives. To watch while we are listening, to photograph while we are watching, to comment after photographs... It's all a whole. But it's breaking up all over. For example, the concept of a woman enters and is particularly underlined. So why?

Just as this year's festival is Women and Jazz, let's go back together and try to find answers to both analytical and accountable ones.
