3rd July 2019: Jeff Williams’ ‘Bloom’ gets ★★★★ from JazzWise Magazine + feature on NPR + reviews from JazzTimes & Step Tempest
Jeff William’s Bloom (CD / DL / 180 gram vinyl), recorded at the Samurai Hotel, NY, on August 17th 2018. It speaks volumes when the bustling opening track of drummer Jeff Williams’ new piano trio release, Bloom, is revealed as “just us warming up, getting our headphone mix together”! For that’s the remarkable, spontaneous quality which his partnership with pianist Carmen Staaf and double bassist Michael Formanek delivers across ten numbers individually penned by each.
There’s been a flurry of international praise for the release, check out the Jazztimes review here, the NPR feature here, the Step Tempest review here and the Jazzwise review to the right. And here’s the link for Jeff’s Limited Edition Vinyl (his first LP as a solo artist) in association with Digger’s Factory.
