Pianist Mary Lou Williams performs "My Blue Heaven" in this clip from the 1970s.
Williams was one of jazz's most versatile, adaptive musicians, fluent in each jazz idiom as it emerged. Playing stride in the '20s, swing in the '30s, and bebop in the '50s, Williams shows off the soul jazz style that was popular in the '60s and '70s in this clip.
