Catherine Russell on CD: Walkin' & Swingin' Mary Lou Williams

Recorded at the 15th Annual Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival in May 2010 at The Kennedy Center, which marked the Centennial of the birth of bandleader, composer, and arranger Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981). Artists such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Esperanza Spalding, Geri Allen, Terri Lyne Carrington, Virginia Mayhew, Catherine Russell, Sherrie Maricle, and Grace Kelly perform big band, trio, and small ensemble Williams hits-and hidden gems-such as "What's Your Story, Morning Glory?" and "In the Land of Oo Bla Dee", sung by Catherine Russell.
