Hang Time |
"Hang Time" - Hot off the presses this week, just in time for the CD-release party at the Chrysler Museum of Art on Wednesday, is "Hang Time", Eddie Williams’ first solo project. Backing him on the album, is pianist, John Toomey, drummer Rich Mossman and bassist Chris Brydge. Each is given a chance to shine. On the slow, reflective “Sylvan Vale” for example, Brydge and Toomey both bring off beautifully lyrical solos. This particular cut also finds Williams at his best; his tone is full, rich and powerful as he floats through the melody.(The sense of suspension gives the album title new meaning) as strong as his voice is, however, his playing never seems heavy-handed or showy. Through-out the album, he displays great sensitivity to the nuances of the music. This, of course, is why he is in great demand as a sideman. But he should be encouraged to pursue more solo projects as well. Birdland Records Planet Music CD Baby
