Jedemi welcomes Mary Lou Williams who has offered to play along with the Enchanted Jukebox here at the Cafe. Enjoy! —the editor
We just posted “Things that Gift us Joy!” Super excited on how it turned out as the first of a series: #GivesUsJoy (and smiles).
Seems like everyday occurrences here in and around the Jedemi Cafe (and DragonBustRs HQ).
While the “silent” version is cool (and no doubt our Frannie would approve), the little video with music provided by artist in residence, MLW (AKA Mary Lou Williams) really “pops”!
About Our MLW…
She’s the lady who swings the band!
Mary Lou Williams (born May 8, 1910, Atlanta, Ga., U.S.—died May 28, 1981, Durham, N.C.) was a jazz pianist who performed with and composed for many of the great jazz artists of the 1940s and ’50s. (Source: Britannica.com)
