A very welcome reissue of one of the highly regarded pieces of music by the great pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams. The concept behind “Black Christ of the Andes” is about the ideal meeting between Jazz and Spiritual. From the dark, smokey atmospheres of the Devil’s music to the luminous sound of the African American Church. A very enjoyable record made up of different materials like “Jump Blues” numbers, a cappella choral pieces and some striking piano trio cuts. All arranged and conducted by the great Melba Liston and featuring performances of Jazz luminaries such as Milt Hinton, Grant Green, Percy Heath, and Mary Lou Williams herself.
