July 14, 2015 7:00 PM Scribe Video film screening of " Mary Lou Williams: The Lady Who Swings the Band" and performance by Kendrah Butler

"Mary Lou Williams: The Lady Who Swings the Band" is a documentary about the life and music of one of the greatest jazz pianists, composers and arrangers. However, away from the piano, Williams was a woman in a "man's world", a black person in a "whites only" society, and an ambitious artist who struggled against the imperatives of being a "star". The screening will be preceded by a piano solo from Kendrah Butler in honor of Mary Lou Williams.
