| This time around, the Tenia Nelson Trio (TNT!) trio will be diving head-first into the music of the amazing Mary Lou Williams, one of the greatest jazz pianists, composers, and arrangers of all time. Though lesser-known, Mary Lou Williams influenced jazz, swing and bebop as much or more than more famous names of the day. Known as “The Lady Who Swings the Band”, she wrote and arranged for Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, and she was friend, mentor, and teacher to Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, and Dizzy Gillespie. At a time when it was unusual for women to play Jazz much less be arrangers, her talent broke through race and cultural barriers. She became a sought-after player known for her boogie-woogie & stride left hand and creative interpretations of standards. NPR Article: How Mary Lou Williams Shaped The Sound of the Big-Band Era "The greatest woman jazz pianist in captivity." "The greatest woman jazz pianist in the world." "Highly acclaimed as a deluxe tickler of the ivories." "One of the foremost swing pianists of either sex." By 1936, then-25-year-old Mary Lou Williams' reputation already preceded her. WUNC Podcast: The hunt for a long-lost musical masterpiece Perhaps more than any other artform, the 20th century was shaped by jazz. And piano player and composer Mary Lou Williams was there at nearly every turn. |
