Synopsis
Album Description
2008 release featuring the Jazz pianist with Andy Kirk and his band, the Clouds of Joy, was one of the most popular orchestras in the mid-'30s and '40s. A lot of the credit must be given to the work of Mary Lou Williams, who played piano, wrote most of the arrangements and contributed many original compositions. Her originality is showcased on this compilation, which presents some of the band's best sides. Her style, albeit with strong individual lines, also shows the influence of Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson. 25 tracks. Definitive.
