Critically acclaimed pianist and composer Aaron Diehl's passion for the work of Mary Lou Williams is realized with the release of the first fully-fledged professional recording of this incredible arrangement. Composed, arranged, and orchestrated by Williams, this recording gives insight into her greater ambitions for the work, despite setbacks she faced during its premiere in 1945. Diehl and The Knights, with Eric Jacobsen, showcase the composer's imagination and vision in a suite dedicated to some of her closest friends and collaborators.
