Event details: Mary Lou Williams Centennial
Description
Come celebrate the centennial of the First Lady of Jazz: pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams. From her breakthrough works as an arranger of the swing era with Andy Kirk, to her ambitious extended works like the classic Zodiac Suite Mary Lou’s music was as profound and beautiful as it was hip and swinging. It takes more than one piano player to honor this great artist’s legacy, and at least two modern interpreters: Geri Allen and Geoffrey Keezer will be joining the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis for the celebration.
