Mary Lou Williams – Black Christ Of The Andes – LP

Alternative Fox

Alternative Fox present a reissue of Mary Lou Williams‘s “Black Christ Of The Andes“, originally released in 1965.

Pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams played with nearly every major jazz performer during her long, illustrious, and varied career, in addition to recording many solo works.

“Black Christ Of The Andes” is easily one of the most individual albums created by Williams, or anyone else in jazz, for that matter; recorded in New York in late 1963 and first issued on Williams‘s own Mary Records, the album has jazz explorations of divine concepts, delivered with suitably complex arrangements.
