Ben Williams Quintet
Acclaimed
bassist Ben Williams just released his sophomore album entitled Coming
of Age (Concord Jazz). He continues to explore the common
elements of jazz, hip-hop, rock and soul in this album with more of his own music
and a reflection of his new outlook as a seasoned musician. The 30-year-old
cites winning the 2009 Monk Institute Competition as a turning point in his
musical odyssey “My career as a bandleader and composer started from the moment
I won,” he says. “I had this opportunity to say something—and an obligation,
too.” http://benwilliamsmusic.net/.
