MUSIC REVIEW BY Larry Hollis, Cadence

VIEW THE CD DETAIL PAGE

Songs of Earth dispenses with the upright bass and trap drum kit for a solo piano recital from Pacific Northwest player Jessica Williams. She had built up a healthy discography before she started devoting herself to solo settings in the eighties and these mostly improvised meditations were taken from tapings over a two year period (2009-2011) at Seattle's Triple Door. Pensive is the operative word here drawn from a half-dozen Williams writings and the seldom-heard ?To Be? a late John Coltrane penning. In her booklet notes, the pianist describes each selection in vivid detail so I won't go into that area except to say these pieces are carefully chosen to seamlessly meld together almost suite style. Ms. Williams long ago proved her mettle as a world class piano player and the acoustics are superlative. Another pearl in Jessica Williams' solo piano necklace.
