My name is Gary Zidek. Welcome to The Arts Section. Tune into the radio program every Sunday morning on WDCB 90.9 & 90.7 FM or listen to it online here. I'll be showcasing a variety of arts & entertainment stories.
WDCB’s Leslie Keros catches up with musician, composer and author Deanna Witkowski to talk about her two-plus decades of research of jazz legend Mary Lou Williams.
Jazz legend Mary Lou Williams is the focus of two recent projects that shed new light on the trailblazing artist. Pittsburgh-based pianist and composer Deanna Witkowski has spent the past two decades researching Willams. That work has led to a new album and biography.
