about
The long-awaited reissue of Mary Lou Williams's magnum opus of religious jazz: Mary Lou's Mass. Newsweek called the score "an encyclopedia of black music, richly represented from spirituals to bop to rock." This is Williams's "Music for Peace," a landmark recording which addressed many of the social ills of the 1960s and 70s. It is perhaps the most openly religious jazz recording made at that time. In her own words, it is "Music for the Soul."

How does a jazz musician get booked into St. Patrick's Cathedral, a place where no jazz musician has ever played? Mary Lou Williams, the jazz pianist and composer, knows the answer for on Tuesday afternoon at 2 P.M. her “Mary Lou's Mass” will be performed there. Here is how the event came about.
Four years ago, Miss Williams went with Father Peter O'Brien, a young priest who serves as her manager, to an ordination at Fordham University attended by Cardinal Terence Cooke. After the ceremony, Miss Williams urged Father O'Brien to speak to the Cardinal about having her Mass performed in St. Patrick's. But the young priest objected: This would not be proper protocol.
“So Peter hid behind a tree,” Miss Williams recalled with a pleased gleam in her eve, “and I went chasing across the campus shouting ‘Cardinal Cooke! Cardinal Cooke!’ I told him I'd written n Mass and I'd like to do it at St. Patrick's. He said ‘Fine.’ I said, ‘It's kind of noisy and loud … 'That's what we need,’ “he said. He thought it would be a wonderful thing for young people.
Miss Williams took a deep drag on a small, black cigar and looked around the living room of her apartment on Sugar Hill overlooking St. Nicholas Avenue. She has lived there since 1941 when she left Andy Kirk's band, with which she had been pianist and arranger for 12 years. Suitcases, a tape machine, a record player were scattered around the room. Along one wall were stacks of cardboard boxes containing Mary Records, a label she started in 1964 to record her own works. On top of a wellworn upright piano stood a hand‐lettered sign: “Smile—God Loves You.”

Mary Lou Williams began her career as a child prodigy n Pittsburgh and became a seminal jazz figure in Kansas City in her early 20's. Now, at 64, she is a cheerfully vital woman who speaks with passionate conviction about the spiritual qualities of jazz. the destructiveness of rock music (“the rhythm is corny and stiff”) and the importance of getting young black musicians back to the musical heritage she feels they have lost.
“Anybody under 30 now is not playing jazz,” she declared. “The kids today can't hear the old changes. I've sat in this apartment for two months trying to teach young bass players.”
Jazz, she believes, Is “spiritual and healing to the soul. It's the only true art in the world.” Alarmed at the daring of that statement, she added, “Oh, should I say that?
“Well,” Miss Williams went on, “I think jazz is as spiritual as the spirituals. I heard my grandparents speak of slavery. They told me what happened. The slaves used the spirituals to forget what. was happening. The spirituals came out of great suffering and jazz was born from the spirituals.”
About 20 years ago Mary Lou Williams thought jazz was disappearing. Newcomers to the music, she felt, had lost the heritage that she and other earlier jazz musicians had created. The sounds of modern jazz, in her opinion, were neurotic, disturbed.
