O’s Notes: Pianist Jessica Williams is a natural, seemingly born to caress the ivories. She wrote and produced over 25 albums prior to arriving at MAXJAZZ. This Side Up finds the veteran, Williams joined by drummer Victor Lewis and Ray Drummond on bass. Her style is full-bodied, a multi-layered approach which serves as an adrenaline for the trio and listeners as well. You’ll enjoy the genius of bebop in a form that is appealing to a broad audience.
