Zodiac is available everywhere. It's a thrill to release my first album and to share this music that's become very dear to me. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible! Download/stream: lnk.to/ZodiacAlbum

Two weeks from today I’ll be presenting Mary Lou Williams’s Zodiac Suite at @littleislandnyc as part of NYC FREE. Thrilled to be part of such an incredible lineup! Also joining @rileymulherkar on August 26 littleisland.org/events/nyc-fre…

Celebrating Mary Lou Williams on her birthday with this performance of Taurus from her Zodiac Suite. Originally commissioned by @DukePerformance last fall, I’m thrilled to share it today m.youtube.com/watch?v=KeHUPn…

Here's a great look at Mary Lou Williams and the history of the Zodiac Suite from @rbkmusicofwine at Step Tempest. Grateful for his praise of Zodiac as "an impressive debut." steptempest.blogspot.com/2021/03/compos…

Thrilled to share this feature from @jefftamarkin and @JazzTimes! jazztimes.com/features/profi…

Enjoyed speaking with Neon Jazz a couple months ago about Zodiac, Mary Lou Williams, and all things in between. youtube.com/watch?v=_K14YE…

Grateful to have Zodiac included in the March 2021 edition of BBC @MusicMagazine.

.@rafiqbhatia suggested that we rethink the order of Zodiac. Ending with "Aries" feels natural and to me it suggests a new chapter beginning: lnk.to/ZodiacAlbum Video by @kimalpert

“The gorgeous melodies may evoke the post-swing era, yet the arrangements, subtle electronic flourishes, and a dazzling sense of economy from each player - both on meticulous charts and concise improvisation - sounds totally modern.” thequietus.com/articles/29745…

Wonderful to hear #MaryLouWilliams Zodiac leaping from historical recordings to new recordings and performances, where it deserves to be. The work has so much more to reveal. “Perpetually contemporary” indeed. Bravo to @nyphil @ChrisPattishall nyti.ms/3tEB2sq

So thrilled to see Mary Lou Williams and the Zodiac Suite getting some much-deserved recognition in the @nytimes. Honored to be mentioned with @aarondiehl & @nyphil, elated to know the music is being heard and enjoyed. nytimes.com/2021/03/19/art…

"His arrangements—and the contributions of @rafiqbhatia—bring an iridescent vivacity to Williams’ already lively and colorful compositions." – Musically Speaking: melminter.com/2021/03/05/ref… Zodiac is available everywhere now: lnk.to/ZodiacAlbum

"I've learned from many people. I change all the time. I experiment to keep up with what is going on, to hear what everybody else is doing. I even keep ahead of them, like a mirror that shows what will happen next." - MLW

For his debut album, the rising pianist Chris Pattishall reached back 75 years to revisit Mary Lou Williams’s 12-part “Zodiac Suite.” The result is neither overly nostalgic nor newfangled and gimmicky. Hear the Playlist. nyti.ms/2OVOPvt
