What a wonderful person! She is a true American artist. I like what she says about learning Jazz. She's so right You can go to the best school that money can buy but if you don't have the music in you then you may as well just hang it up. Music; especially Jazz and blues has to come from the soul.
MOVIE: "GREAT DAY IN HARLEM" is so good. Check it out. This is how I learned about her and other great jazz musicians

Read Dr. Tammy Kernodle's book SOUL ON SOUL, The Life and Times of Mary Lou Williams, Mother of Bebop. Why? She showed the cats the flatted fifth.

I think it's the bonus track on a live CD on the High Note label, with Roy Haynes and Ronnie Boykins, called "A Grand Night for Swinging".
