Description:
This stunning solo recital originally released in 1999 was captured live at the Holywell Music Room, Oxford the venue has hosted many legendary composers and musicians such as Handel, Mozart, Haydn and Vivaldi. Recorded at the beginning of Jessica's second British tour, this is her fourth Candid release and her second solo album, a companion to "Gratitude" CND 79721. The quality, originality and depth of Ms. Williams' music is by now well known, and this unique concert captures the very essence of her tremendous talents. The music here speaks for itself and mirrors her pragmatic approach to matters earthly. In her own words: "Steeped in the wisdom of Coltrane, the humor of Monk, the starkness of Miles and the floridity of Tatum, who has time for mutual funds, lap tops, and web sites?" |
