Mary Lou Williams, (1910-1981) was a Jazz pianist, composer and arranger, who influenced 60 years of Jazz. As she played, she would turn her head towards the audience and say, "Remember Me. I am Mary Lou Williams."I wrote this book, Remember Me: Mary Lou Williams in Poetry, from the perspectives of two artists; one a musician and one a poet. After extensive research on Mary Lou Williams across several states, I felt like I was interviewing her and she was telling me her life through her words, music, archives, handwritten notes and her unpublished autobiography. Poems written in the voice of Mary Lou Williams are italicized and have a musical note at the bottom of each page. Poems in the voice of Poet Fabu have a writer's pen at the bottom of each page. I want this book of poetry, Remember Me: Mary Lou Williams in Poetry, to re-ignite the public's interest in Mary Lou Williams' original, extravagant music, her genius, her words, and her fascinating life as a musician, innovator and leader in Jazz.
