CD of the Month - May 2008The KCCK Featured CD for May is "A Grand Night for Swinging" a previously unreleased live recording of Mary Lou Williams and her trio at the Statler Hotel in Buffalo from 1976. Williams' stature in the jazz world as the most important female jazz musician to emerge in the first three decades of the art writes an important chapter not only in the history of women jazz musicians, but also of 20th-century African-American history in a larger context. Although she had been playing professionally for over fifty years at this point in her career, this is the only recording yet to have surfaced featuring legendary drummer Roy Haynes as part of Mary Lou's trio. As the All Music Guide states, "This is a welcome and necessary entry in Williams' catalog." "A Grand Night for Swinging" is on High Note Records.For samples and buying information, click here.
