    Mary Lou....got more imagination than Marion at least that's who I thought it was which is the reason for my clever inquiry.

      Marion is harmonically more daring than this. This record to me is more of a typical Tatum/Waller derived thing like was so common at the time. We're running out of usual suspects quickly.....

        Got me beat. The only others I can think of are Hazel Scott, Beryl Booker and Dorothy Donegan maybe in chronological order. I really thought it might be a very early Mary Lou Williams. It is an early somebody. Believe it or not I got records by all of them but I ain't gonna pull them out now to hear what they sounded like. It did sound like a chick piano player to me that's why I asked that question. Beryl Booker can be pretty primitive and Hazel Scott had a classical background which made her less swingy sometimes. Old Dorothy could play pretty hard sometimes.
        Maybe it's Liberace???

        I'm not familiar with Beryl Booker at all. I knew this would be a hard one.

        It's a fairly early Dorothy, isn't it? I got a 10"lp and a 12" but I didn't want to listen to them (if I could get at them). Beryl Booker was a little primitive, all self-taught and couldn't read music at all. I have a Hazel Scott lp also but she was kind of pianistic because of her background. She looked great and can sing also. Truthfully, I never did dig the chick piano players because most of them sounded ladyish. Barabara Carroll was another one. They all used to play at the Embers in NYC. Marion M. and the whole crowd. That's where I first heard Marion. It was interesting to hear that piano thing but I did get a feeling it was a female..
        Now you can't tell the difference by gender in fact I think the women might have an edge over the last few years.
        I hope you know that I wasn't gender bashing but there weren't many women that were playing jazz in my "heyday".
