As far as I can tell this is from sometime in the 1940s. Mary Lou Williams participated in just about every development in jazz during her half a century career, mastering different techniques, participating in creating new textures and harmonies.

"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
