Good evening ^^ I was curious about "12 clouds of joy", so I searched on UA-cam. It sounded like a mix of ragtime, blues and Dixie. It was a new discovery for me to be evaluated by the Kansas City Band where Charlie Parker and fats navarro were. ^^ Mary Lou's activities after the age of 40 seem to have changed, but I'm sure her music hasn't changed to something that makes you feel the good old days, right? Thank you again for your wonderful Jazz History.
I'm doing a research paper for my Jazz History course about Mary Lou Williams impact on the male-dominated jazz world and this was great research starter for me. Thank you!
Hey!! Omg same ; I asked my jazz history teacher to talk more about women to which he responded that I could prepare a talk myself. I would be very interested to share informations and talk about it with you!
The UA-cam channel, Catholic Culture, has a long and satisfying interview with the Williams biographer, Deanna Witkowski. Also, there was and probably still is a priceless bit of video from 1973 on UA-cam. It's Mary Lou Williams as a guest of MisterRogers.
Mr. Rogers learns about scat. Listening to him interview Mary Lou and Milton Suggs, everyone turns into a child when they speak to Mr. Rogers. ua-cam.com/video/gjM63eZmsao/v-deo.html
My favorite Mary Lou Williams piece is Scratchin' in the Gravel, but this is one of the few Mary Lou Williams pieces which I would prefer to hear played by someone else, in this case, Marian McPartland.
Thankyou so much for your coverage of this magnificent woman.You are magnificent too,thanks again.
Your praise is generous to a fault, but I thank you for it!
Just learned her name, looked her up and found this. Thank you, I have a new voice in my life.
