[Dixielandjazz] Who Influenced Mary Lou Williams

[Daniel Barrett]

Yo, Ken--
 
Greetings from across the pond.  Your message reminded me that Mary Lou recorded a nicely swinging version of The Pearls in the mid-'30s, with the Andy Kirk rhythm section. So, she obviously knew about Morton.
 
Good work!
 
Sorry I must be brief here, but I do hope you're doing well, and continuing to write & "swing out."
 
Best,
