Collaborations
Vocalist Nancy Wilson (b. 1937), who often refers to herself as a song stylist rather than a jazz singer, is seen here with composer and arranger Gerald Wilson (no relation) from one of two recordings they made together in the 1960s: Yesterday's Love Songs -- Today's Blues and How Glad I Am. A tantalizing glimpse into potential collaboration comes from a previously unknown handwritten letter written by pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams (1910–1981) to Carmen McRae (1920–1994) suggesting songs McRae might like to record.
