“Whenever I was asked to play piano for someone I would compose new
music while playing. Not realizing I was being recorded while I was playing
the piano I composed the next tune you will hear and it’s called
Night Life. And it happens to be my first recording.”
—Mary Lou Williams,
The History of Jazz 1978
“I had been in the habit of making up my own things when asked
to play. Out of this training, and the way I was feeling beat, came
two originals titled Drag 'Em and Night Life — the
first a blues, the other a faster piece. These were the first solo
records I ever made.“
—Mary Lou Williams,
Melody Maker interview 1954
“Night Life”–Mary Lou Williams (1930), by Linda Dahl 2008
