Today's Listen:
Mary Lou Williams -- MY MAMA PINNED A ROSE ON ME
O-10 I think you posted this one before. I just got it. Excellent notes in the booklet about the blues, and her childhood years.
The Bass player, Buster Williams, is referred to as a virtuoso, and he is indeed that.
I have not been able to find much on the vocalist, Cynthia Tyson. Do you know of her?
The first clip is not from the CD, but is a tune she wrote and is played by Andy Kirk's Band. I liked it so much, I had to include it.
