NY: Mary Lou Williams Centennial
at
Rose Theater, JALC details Come celebrate the centennial of the First Lady of Jazz: pianist
and composer Mary Lou Williams. From her early 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 profound and beautiful as it was hip and swinging. It takes more
than one piano player to honor this great artist's legacy. Two modern interpreters, Geri Allen and Geoffrey Keezer, will be joining the
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis for the celebration |

from the ol' PJB, plus the dynamic reed duo of John Clark and Craig Ball, and rhythm stalwarts Ross Petot (piano), Albie Bernard (tuba) and Bill Reynolds (drums), doing some swell
tunes from the heart of the Jazz Decade. Many of their sources are actual arrangements from the '20s, and they augment these with improvised takes on other pieces of the era.
The bandsmen here have long association with and love of the hot jazz style that defined the birth of jazz. Their sound is reminiscent of that fine band Ray put together 25 years ago,
but with its own excitement and personality. In addition, JJNO features delightful
chanteuse Ginny Briggs, who specializes in the unique repertoire of classic '20s singer Jane Green. This night will be sweet & hot!
