"Deanna Witkowski has combined The Spirituality of the Soul and Heart with The Spirituality of Jazz...Witkowski continues the work of Mary Lou Williams, a convert to Catholicism, who was the first major jazz artist to compose for liturgical purposes. This music is 'healing to the Soul'.
Rev. Peter F. O'Brien, SJ
Executive Director of The Mary Lou Williams Foundation
