In 1945, the pianist Mary Lou Williams recorded her Zodiac Suite – twelve works, one for each sign of the zodiac, and each part of the suite was a portrait of one of her friends. So "Aries," for example, was a portrait of Billie Holiday, while the piece, "Taurus," was a portrait of Duke Ellington. Now pianist Aaron Diehl is going to revive this intriguing blend of jazz history and astrological hooey. It’s part of a whole program that he’s doing of composed works in a jazzy style for the DACAMERA series online. 

Pianist Aaron Diehl plays Mary Lou Williams' complete Zodiac Suite as well as works by Aaron Copland and Dick Hyman on Tuesday, March 23 for the DACAMERA series online.
