Impressions of Mary Lou is an album by pianist John Hicks which was recorded in 1998 and released on the HighNote label.[1] The album features eight compositions by Mary Lou Williams along with five by Hicks.
AllMusic reviewed the album stating "What is so compelling about Hicks' salute to Williams is that he ignores her best known secular works; he sticks mostly to excerpts from her religious compositions, which, of course, still swing mightily... Recommended".[2] JazzTimes said "Hicks does a good job getting inside the tunes and developing them in his own way... Admirers of Hicks and Williams should enjoy this well-executed homage".[3]
