Description:
Jessica Williams newest album more than lives up to its proud title with 8 originals by Jessica Williams and one seldom heard chestnut by Sonny Rollins. The music is as new as the 21st Century and quite unlike anything Ms. Williams has committed to CD before: in a program that spans all of the emotions, from longing, sadness, wonder, and optimism, to melting love. Still firmly rooted in her nearly 50 year love affair with jazz, she offers her deeply felt tribute to the memory of the great pianist Oscar Peterson, and rounds out the mesmerizing program with her original compositions containing soaring lines and John Coltrane inspired rapid fire sheets of sound.
