Summary: <p><span style="font-size: small;">In honor of Women's History Month Piano Jazz presents a session with pioneering pianist Mary Lou Williams, who would </span><span style="font-size: small;">have been 103 this year. On this session from the very first Piano Jazz season Williams proves a tough nut for McPartland </span><span style="font-size: small;">to crack, but warms up enough to play a duet and she even sings on "Rosa Mae." Other tunes include “Caravan,” and </span><span style="font-size: small;">Williams’ "Scratchin' in the Gravel."</span></p>
