“John Malveaux: 'Thanks to Maestro John McLaughlin Williams...the William Grant Still library is still open for appreciation.'”

John McLaughlin Williams comments:

“Bill, you're very kind to put this up, but I don't think I deserve it. It's an old performance, but I thought that with so few of Still's works readily available, having one more that hasn't been widely heard could only be a good thing. There's so much unheard Still, and some of us know that his best has not yet been recorded.
