Footnotes to Jazz, Vol. 3: Jazz Rehearsal, I

Mary Lou Williams FW02292 / FJ 2292

After rediscovering a tin box full of acetate recordings of jazz rehearsal sessions, Folkways founder Moe Asch pieced together a sequence that shows the on-the-spot creative energy musicians produce in the studio. This disc features Mary Lou Williams and her hand-picked group of session musicians, all innovators from the clubs of New York.
