About
Thirteen tracks (including previously unreleased version of Syl-o-gism and Gloria) embodying her always-distinctive composition, lyricism, power, and adventurous harmonie. In the extensive notes to this reissue, Bob Blumenthal states that "its appearance in 1974 served as a revelation and a reaffirmation of what had always made Williams so unique. She was still stretching the boundarie, with harmonic, rhythmic, and formal notions that bordered on the avant-garde; yet her ear for melody and her deep immersion in the blues idiom remained." Williams is backed by pianist Zita Carno, bassist Bob Crenshaw, and drummer Mickey Roker. "Her music remains so fresh and free." —Musician COUNTRY(S) United States CULTURE GROUP(S) African American KEYWORD(S) Jazz INSTRUMENT(S) Piano LANGUAGE(S) English YEAR OF RELEASE 1995 RECORD LABEL Smithsonian Folkways Recordings SOURCE ARCHIVE Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage .
