"I can't remember when I have been as excited by a first hearing of a newly found artist. Williams is a "monster" jazz player, who is adept in ballads, straight ahead bebop, and free improvisations that soar and sing with an intensity and clarity that is simply amazing. (Think: the liquid and fleet sound of Hubert Laws combined with the ferocity and drive of Lew Tabakin and the risk taking of Robert Dick all in one package.) His technique is dazzling, his tone by turn intense and ravishingly sensual, and his skill at manipulating on-the-fly electronic sound processing, such as digital delay, harmonizers, and all the electronic resources of the Lexicon is astonishing. More importantly, all this skill is used in the service of creativity and expression. I strongly urge you to give these audio clips a listen.." Jerry Pritchard (The Flute Network)

"David is playing incredibly well, on this recording. Bringing back a genre that seems to have been neglected, in recent years. DW has the chops and intensity to expand the tradition of "jazz" flute. Congratulations and keep up the good work." Lew Tabackin

| All of the music was recorded live and is faithfully presented as it was created; without editing or post-production of any kind. The flute effects were created during performance with the extensive use of two Lexicon PCM42 digital delay units (each was manipulated through the use of foot-pedals to facilitate control over all functions and aspects of the resultant sounds). All tracks recorded on Williams Flute #1; 18k gold with silver mechanism. | ||
