FUTURE PROJECTS:


The United States Army Field Band - Jazz Ambassadors will record fifteen of Mary Lou Williams' compositions. These will include ten pieces exactly as she wrote them and five new arrangements by Army Band members. Fourteen of these pieces will be for Big Band. The fifteenth will be recorded by The United States Army Chorus. They will sing Mary's "St. Martin de Porres" (written in 1962) and also known as "Black Christ of the Andes". Recording is to take place in the Autumn of 2006 with release in 2007. These CDs will not be for sale. They will be distributed without charge to any teacher, school, or library asking for them. Mary Lou would love this. Her music will get to children and young adults. Everything she had in mind. Do you want to know more? email us at info@marylouwilliamsfoundation.org
