Description

Mary Lou Williams's magnum opus of religious jazz: Mary Lou's Mass.

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."
