MUSIC IN THE MOONLIGHT JAZZ SERIES: VIRGINIA MAYHEW Tenor Saxophonist Performs Original Compositions and Music of Mary Lou Williams Hear legendary music from Virginia Mayhew's “Mary Lou Williams: The Next 100 Years.” The project, recorded in December 2010, features trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, Ed Cherry on guitar, Harvie S on bass and Andy Watson on drums. “Although I was aware that Mary Lou Williams was a well-respected jazz musician,” said Virginia. “I was surprised by the depth and breadth of her career — composing and arranging for Andy Kirk and the Clouds of Joy in the 30’s, arranging for Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, recording with tenor giant Don Byas, and mentoring such Jazz giants as Monk, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie and Bird (Charlie Parker). All that in addition to leading her own groups."
