Bruce Williams is an alto sax player with quite an impressive resume. Bruce was raised in D.C. but now resides in north Jersey near NYC. He has performed with Roy Hargrove,Frank Foster, Little Jimmy Scott, Branford Marsalis, Russell Gunn, D.C. go-go bands, Stanley Cowell, KRS 1,STING, Ben Riley, the World Saxophone Quartet, and Malcolm Jamal Warner. He is a very versitle jazz musician that loves many styles of music. He also performs and records regularly on the underground neosoul circuit with Black I and Nick Rolfe.This recording represents the feeling of a real band playing modern jazz. Our music is about today's look at straight ahead, post bop, funk, and avant garde swing. It was recorded with everyone all in the same room to give the music hot & live vibe. We hope that you'll enjoy it.
