Mary's Ideas - Umlaut Big Band - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Mary's Ideas is an album by Umlaut Big Band, released in 2021. The album is a jazz 2-CD.

The personal archives of Mary Lou Williams, preserved at the Institute of Jazz Studies in Newark, bear the traces of this prolific trajectory. The original manuscripts served as the main source for this project informed by precise historical research. Thus, the Umlaut Big Band allows us to hear numerous compositions written between 1930 and 1981 and never-before-recorded. Here, for the first time, the work of Mary Lou Williams the composer and arranger, has been considered as a whole. This album was conceived around themes specific to her musical practice. A reading that we hope will shed new light on an unjustly neglected figure.
