Jazz Ambassadors
The Legacy of Mary Lou Williams

Downloadable here are MP3 audio files and printable educational materials. At this time, this CD is available online only.

The Jazz Ambassadors of The United States Army Field Band present the fifth in a series of recordings honoring the lives and music of individuals who have made significant contributions to jazz. Designed primarily as an educational resource, this recording is thoroughly researched to present standard performance practices and to reflect the original intent of the composer.

As a pianist, composer, arranger, and educator, Mary Lou Williams was in a class of her own. She stands as the only jazz musician to "play" through all of the eras of jazz. A top-notch pianist and arranger whose influence is still strongly felt more than twenty-five years after her death, Mary Lou Williams' musicianship continues to shine. The Jazz Ambassadors are proud to present a small portion of Mary Lou Williams' musical legacy to the public. This album was recorded in April 2007 in Devers Hall, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland.
