Details:
''Heroes!'' Is a 12 track collection from New York Keyboardist, Gene Williams. An envelope pushing, self produced assortment of electric instrumental sound ranging from Jazz, to Funk, to Rock, and Smooth Grooves, all composed and performed by Williams. After years of performing as a sideman & Musical Director for various artists, including, R&B crooners, Freddie Jackson, Joe, Roberta Flack, and Gloria Gaynor, just to name a few... Gene Williams returns to his own personal brand of musical expression almost 14 years after his debut release, ''Welcome 2 My World''. ''Heroes!'' is a tribute to Williams'' wide range of influences, harking back to some of the edgier Jazz/Rock of Return To Forever, Weather Report, David Sancious, George Duke & Jan Hammer. The music on ''Heroes!'' however, is ALL Gene Williams, and his approach is far from dated. He successfully achieves a fusion of classic sounds in a fresh way.
Williams uniquely pays tribute to his favorites, as can clearly be seen in the promotional music video for ''Heroes!'' https://www.tradebit.com where a digital avatar in his likeness jumps into the album art of classics ''Bitches Brew'', ''Romantic Warrior'' and even ''Tarkus''.
Like many of his musical influences, Williams uses Jazz improvisation at its core, while infusing a variety of grooves keeping the listener engaged. The blazing time shifting Jazz/Rock of the title track, ''Heroes! ''New Dawn'', and ''Amok Time'' features Williams'' synthesizer work. On the cool Jamaica Funk of ''Gee Wiz'' and ''All Good in tha Hood'' Williams takes the lead on piano & organ sounds. And the Smooth Jazz of ''April'' and ''Alternate Being'' will please even the most hard core Neo-Soul, & R&B listeners.
Get ready for the ride... Gene Williams'' ''Heroes!'' is here!
