By grasshopper (brooklyn, ny United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live at the Cookery (Audio CD)
This is a great example of Mary Lou's style of playing from a live performance in 1975 (the previous reviewer is wrong saying this was from the 90's). It is piano accompanied only by bass, and is rather wonderful. The cd has 4 or 5 bonus tracks that were not on the original lp. All in all, it's a great indtroduction to the great Mary Lou Williams, one of the finest jazz pianist ever.

This review is from: Live at the Cookery (Audio CD)
Mary Lou Williams is the longest performing jazz musician, and has performed through all the periods of jazz history, which is a remarkable position to hold. This is a fairly recent concert having been recorded in the 1990's.
I am really enjoying this album. She may not be a jazz innovator, but Mary Lou Williams brings her personality across in this recording, and the result is an engaging concert. Williams draws on several jazz traditions, from boogie woogie to bebop, and presents them all with a freshness and individuality. Every moment is interesting, even inspired, and at no time does she get lost in excessive soloing or uninteresting playing. That is more than you can say about a lot of jazz recordings out there. The sound quality is not the best, compared to say the latest recordings, but on the other hand it is an intimate concert, having been recorded at The Cookery. I had to turn up the volume high on my stereo and in my car. Still, this has not spoiled my enjoyment.
