| | Mary Lou Williams |
 | | The foundation, created by Williams to further jazz education and the promotion of her music, donated nearly 200 boxes of personal papers and writings, music manuscripts, rare and original sound recordings, photographs, scrapbooks and other memorabilia to the Institute. | | | She would have been delighted and felt vindicated to see the current renaissance of the recording and performing of her music. | | | Her unusual odyssey in jazz parallels the path the music took from Louis Armstrong's heyday to avant-garde and beyond, especially where her sacred music is concerned. |

| | Those who heard Mary Lou Williams play the piano often commented that she "played like a man" I suppose that at the time William's observers meant that her playing was untimid and bold, but I believe that these are qualities of a woman. | | | This song was created entirely from an improvised performance where Williams did not know she was being recorded. | | | The men would play and Williams improved her piano from listening and observing. |

| | Mary Lou Williams |
| | Three recent CD reissues of the music of Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981), jazz pianist and composer, serve as towering monuments to a talent long neglected. | | | Although previous recordings of this 1945 suite exist in big-band jazz and symphonic-orchestra arrangements, this version (for solo pianist and piano trio) is the one to get. | | | Their interplay prepares the way for the most captivating of these reissues, Embraced, a live recording on the Pablo label of Williams meeting Cecil Taylor in a 1977 concert. |

| | Weaving a newfound spirituality into her music, Williams recorded the 1963 album Black Christ of the Andes, and in the 1970s she recorded Mary Lou's Mass. | | | On that album's title track, she seamlessly blended the vocabulary of jazz with elements of rhythm and blues, spirituals and gospel music. | | | Williams also arranged for for Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, as well as Jimmy Lunceford, whose band helped make Williams' composition "What's Your Story, Morning Glory" a hit. |

| | Kennedy Center Jazz - Article About Mary Lou Williams by Carline Ray |
| | When I first met the incomparable Mary Lou Williams in the late 1960s, it was my good fortune to be one of about 30 singers who were contracted to perform with her in a Carnegie Hall concert of her sacred choral music, with vocal soloists and an instrumental ensemble featuring Mary Lou at the piano. | | | When the late, great dancer/choreographer Alvin Ailey heard the recording of "Mary Louâs Mass" (as it came to be known), he was inspired to choreograph it for his wonderful dance company, and Mary Lou couldnât have been happier. | | | I served as bassist and vocal soloist on chosen segments of her Mass, which was performed in a local church, and the big jazz concert in a local auditorium turned out well. |

| | Mary Lou Williams: Jazz Healing |
| | This period was rich and productive for Mary Lou, both as a performer and as a composer: long-standing gigs at Cafe Society, her own radio show on WNEW, the composition of “Zodiac Suite” and performance of this suite by the New York Philharmonic, and various trio recordings. | | | It became known as “Mary LouÂ's Mass” and is considered among the most important contributions to the sacred music genre of its century. | | | Startled at the complexity of it, she dropped Mary Lou and ran to get the neighbors to come listen. |

| | 'Mary Lou's Mass' - gospel tinged, innovative, dynamic, sometimes funky, and always profoundly stirring - is, as Williams herself put it, "music for the soul." The album presents a riveting suite by an artist trying to reconcile her religious and African-American cultural identities with strikingly original and daring music. | | | The new work was called 'Mary Lou's Mass' and was released on Folkways' subsidiary Mary Records in 1970. | | | The remastered album includes bonus material from her 1969 masterpiece 'Music For Peace' (the third of her four masses), two hymns written in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at the time of his assassination, and rare singles from 1972. |

| | Mary Lou Williams: The Lady Who Swings the Band |
| | David Baker has said “Particularly given those years, 1929-42, it was almost without precedence to have a female in the band who wasn't a singer and secondarily for that female to virtually all the musical decisions in her hands. | | | Among her contributions to the modern jazz movement were the tune and arrangement “In the Land of Oo-Bla-Dee”, which Dizzy's big band recorded, and a couple of tunes she convinced Benny Goodman to record with his brief bop-oriented small group. | | | She played long-standing gigs at Cafe Society, had her own radio show on WNEW, composed “Zodiac Suite”, which was performed by a summer orchestra of the New York Philharmonic, and recorded with a trio. |

| | Geri Allen, who portrayed Williams in the 1996 Robert Altman film "Kansas City," will perform Williams's 12-part "Zodiac Suite" on Saturday (on a triple bill with the Dixieland ensemble Jazzberry Jam and singer Rene Marie). | | | The music, ranging from classic swing tunes to ambitious sacred works, will be performed by small groups, a big band and 50 massed voices of the magnificent Morgan State University Choir. | | | More than 100 women have performed in that time, but there remains one woman whose music has been conspicuously absent from the festival: Mary Lou Williams. |
