Mary Lou Williams

The long-awaited reissue of Mary Lou Williams's magnum opus of religious jazz: Mery Lou's Mass. Newsweek called the score "an encyclopedia of black music", richly represented from spirituals to bop to rock". This is Williams's "Music fo Peace", a landmark recording which addressed many of the social ills of the 1960s and 70s. It is perhaps the most openly religious jazz recording made at the time. In her own words, it is "Music For the Soul"

Includes a 32-page booklet, extensive photos, and notes
