4️⃣ 1996 - first Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival #KenCenArchives
On this day in 1925, legendary photographer #ArtKane was born. Though best known for his photo #AGreatDayinHarlem, Kane’s career continued for decades photographing music greats. His works can still be viewed today in the @metmuseum Happy birthday, Art Kane!
Today we’re celebrating another inspiration for the #ZodiacSuite: #BillieHoliday, born on this day in 1915. Her unique vocal style shaped the futures of her genres, and she has gone down in history as one of the most influential singers of all time. Happy birthday Billie Holiday!
Mary Lou’s dear friend #MiltOrent was born on this day in 1918. Though they played different instruments, Mary Lou & Milt shared a passion for composing. They co-wrote many songs, including “The Land of Oo Bla Dee,” famously recorded by #DizzyGillespie. Happy birthday Milt Orent!
On March 27th 1909, saxophone great #BenWebster was born. Over the course of his career, he played with greats such as #DukeEllington, #ColemanHawkins, and #OscarPeterson, as well as being one of the inspirations for Mary Lou Williams’ Zodiac Suite. Happy birthday, Ben Webster!
Another #flashbackfriday leads us to 1978, when #MaryLouWilliams paired her notes with #CecilTaylor for the album “Embraced.” Accompanying them on the record were bassist #BobCranshaw and drummer #MickeyRoker. Enjoy a listen via our Link in Bio.
Today we honor the inimitable #MarianMcPartland on what would have been her 104th birthday. As host of @NPR's beloved "Piano Jazz," McPartland captivated listeners with her nimble musicianship and warm rapport with guests for over 30 years. Happy Birthday, Marian McPartland!
March 18th marks the birthday of Al Hall, a versatile jazz bassist and one of the inspirations for Mary Lou Williams’ Zodiac Suite. The two met in the New York jazz scene of the 1940s; they hit it off, and he played as a regular member of her trio. Happy Birthday, Al Hall!
Today’s #flashbackfriday leads us to 1978, when #MaryLouWilliams joined notes with #BennyGoodman, #CalCollins, #ConnieKay, and #MajorHolley to play “Ain’t Misbehavin’.” Enjoy! Find more Mary Lou via our Link in Bio.
Today, a #throwbackthursday to 1945, when #MaryLouWilliams released her original #ZodiacSuite with #AschRecords. Though pleased with her work, Mary Lou knew the suite had more potential, and she would begin work on the full symphonic suite we know today shortly thereafter.
More Mary Lou Williams to enjoy this #flashbackfriday… Here she is at the #NiceJazzFestival in 1978, playing with #PhillyJoJones on drums and #RonnieBoykins on bass. Enjoy! Stay tuned to our Link in Bio for more.
Happy #PiscesSeason from @aarondiehl & @TheKnightsNYC ♓ #MaryLouWilliams composed this piece for her Pisces friends: Al Hall and Barney Josephson. Hear the full movement: lnk.to/pisces-aaron-d…
What an incredible finale to our I Dream a World Festival! 🎶 The Soundworld of Mary Lou Williams concert was a celebration of music and culture. Let's relive the unforgettable moments from last weekend's concert together!
Today, join us for a #throwbackthursday to 1957, when Mary Lou Williams joined her good friend #DizzyGillespie on the bandstand at @NewportJazzFest. Together they delivered a stellar performance which was captured on the album "At Newport." Find it via our Link in Bio.

ELLA AND LOUIS AGAIN Recorded August 13,23, 1957
Happy Birthday to the "First Lady of Song" Ella Fitzgerald born today in 1917. Her voice was flexible, wide-ranging, precise and ageless. She could sing sultry ballads, sweet Jazz and imitate every instrument in an orchestra. To use the word legendary would be an understatement.
Today we remember Ella Fitzgerald on what would have been her 107th birthday 🎈 Celebrated for being the Queen of Jazz due to her remarkable voice and unparalleled style, she captured the hearts of audiences around the world and left an indelible mark on the music industry 🎂
Not much of an introduction is needed for the "1st Lady of Song" who once forgot the lyrics to "Mack the Knife" on stage and improvised thru it so *effortlessly*, it won her 2 Grammy's. BOTD in Newport News, VA...Happy heavenly birthday to Ella Fitzgerald.
Ella Fitzgerald Amsterdam Concert Recorded Feb. 18, 1961
Ella Fitzgerald, the queen of Jazz, could scat like a cat and croon like a moonlit lover. Her piano duets were the bee’s knees, especially with Ellis Larkins. She aged like fine wine, her voice gaining sass and class. Truly, she was the First Lady of Song!
Remembering the great Ella Fitzgerald who was born on this day in 1917. Sometimes referred to as the “First Lady of Song” and “Queen of Jazz”, she was known for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation and a “horn-like” improvisational ability,…
