Jazz for Curious Listeners
Black History Month: The Women, Mary Lou Williams
February 12, 2013

We celebrate Black History Month by focusing on four women who broke boundaries by their sheer genius and talent. Please join us for these evening programs where you will not only hear great music, but learn something new about these American icons. Few jazz musicians accomplished anything near what Mary Lou Williams during her long and varied career, which spanned five decades. An accomplished composer/arranger/pianist, she wrote music for Dizzy Gillespie, Andy Kirk, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Be prepared to hear a wide range of fresh and vibrant music.
