In honor of Women's History Month, Debb Moore and The Jazz Suite presents "Soul on Soul! A Salute to Mary Lou Williams" on Sunday, March 10 at 2pm. The conversation features composer, educator and vibraphonist Cecilia Smith and acclaimed musicologist and the former President of the Society for American Music, Dr. Tammy Kernodle.
"One of the greatest jazz pianists, composers, and arrangers of all time, Mary Lou Williams was a swing and bebop icon. 'The Lady Who Swings the Band' also devoted herself to aiding musicians in need and teaching younger generations about jazz’s rich African American heritage." ~ WomensHistory.org
