Grande dame du Jazz et actrice influente de plusieurs décennies de son histoire, du blues à l’avant-garde des années 1960, Mary Lou Williams doit figurer, s’il y a une justice, aux côtés des plus grands noms. Figure maternelle, mentor de Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie et Thelonious Monk qu’elle a aidés et encouragés, mais également arrangeur et compositrice prolifique, Mary Lou Williams a enregistré plus d’une centaine de disques. Jean-Paul Ricard lui rend hommage en remettant sous les projecteurs le florilège musical de la première grande figure féminine du jazz. Jean BUZELIN
A grand lady of Jazz and an important influence throughout the several decades of her career, from blues to the avant-garde 60s, Mary Lou Williams deserves a place alongside the greatest names. A mother-figure, mentor to Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk whom she helped and encouraged, but also an arranger and prolific composer, Mary Lou Williams made over a hundred records. Jean-Paul Ricard pays homage to her by turning the spotlight on the musical heritage of the first great female jazz performer. Jean BUZELIN
