The Rep Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Mary Lou Williams album "Live At Keystone Korner" with Larry Gales on bass, and drums by Eddie Marshall. Recorded 1977. I was playing this album yesterday and thought I had never seen this up as AOTW, checked and no Mary Lou Williams at all. The variations in piano style and jazz categories are all there. This is a live performance and it shows, the atmosphere just seeps through the speakers. For powerful swinging just listen to "Stormy Weather" or to "St Louis Blues". There are complex harmonies that are so easy on the ear. "Mary Lou Blues" is another favourite of mine and "Roll Em" just puts a smile all over my face. So what do you think ladies and gentlemen?
