Skinny Williams - Here2MakeUHappy
Saxophonist Skinny Williams is an accomplished, instrumentalist, a savvy composer, and an electrifying performer who --since the release of his first solo album in 1999 has created a series of recordings that have made him a distinctive talent in the realm of contemporary jazz. Through his noteworthy combination of earthy grooves and soulful improvisations, Williams has earned both critical acclaim and mainstream appreciation.
Skinny's latest album, Here2MakeUHappy, a collection of toe tappin' grooves from the famed saxophonist and all star rhythm section is a praiseworthy successor to William's last traditional jazz album and audience favorite, Skinny Swings Again.Here2MakeUHappy, which is available on CD and I-tunes, showcases Skinny Williams production skills, imperious tone, and poetic saxophone phrasings on eleven newly recorded compositions accompanied by some of the greatest musicians of smooth jazz and rhythm and blues.
Williams has performed with some of the biggest names in the business- from comedian Bernie Mac, The Ohio Players, Chaka Khan, Brian McKnight, George Duke and Sheila E, jammed on stage with Brian Culbertson, Nick Colionne. Sat in with blues legends Buddy Guy, BB King and Bo Diddley. Toured Australia, Japan, and Europe with blues greats Junior Wells and Lucky Peterson.
Williams is one of the industry’s most respected and in-demand players, with critics comparing him to such greats as Stanley Turrentine, Junior Walker, Grover Washington Jr. and Boney James.
