Women in Jazz Festival
Description
|
Inspired by Mary Lou Williams, Billy Taylor founded the Women in Jazz
Festival, held at the Kennedy Center, in her honor. Mary Lou Williams,
he explains, “set a high standard for jazz musicians. Composer, pianist,
arranger, teacher, music historian, a role model, and a humanitarian –
she was the quintessential jazz master. A sensitive, caring, self
effacing performing artist, she shared her vast experience and musical
skills with fellow artists.”
