Mary Lou Williams.....a labour of love....Pt.1

Mary Lou Williams. For those of you who follow this longwinded blog, you'll know how much I love MLW, and collect her music. I have posted a few collections of her music, and I will link to them at the end of this post, again, for anyone interested.

Here's a two part labour of love, today.....two lists spanning the length of her career, culled from my entire collection of her work....no particular order, as it seems that Blogger takes down any specific albums I list....enjoy! (I will put details...years, bands, etc....lemme tell ya, BTW...getting this research on dates was a time consuming BITCH....lol!!)
