Details:
Jeffrey L. started playing the guitar at the age of twelve under the guidance of his grandfather Newman Williams (first cousin to Grover Washington Sr.) By the age of sixteen, he was teaching guitar at the Carozza music School in Yorktown Heights, New York, where he formed his first band “Eclipse”. After high school, Jeffrey L. attended Morgan State University where he played guitar and keyboards in various bands, most notably with Maysa Leak the lead vocalist for “Incognito”. Through the next few years, he worked with artists such as Lenny Williams, Gary “Mud Bone” Cooper of Parliament fame, Kut Klose, and Mike Marshall of Timex Social Club. Jeffrey L’s next stint in the music business would be with none other than Frankie Beverly & Maze. He toured with Maze for seven years as Frankie’s guitar tech. This latest offering by Jeffrey L, “Daddys
Girl” features the vocals of Shirley W. Smith, Jeffrey L’s Mother. It is a piece whose inspiration was to honor the memory of his grandfather, and Shirley’s Daddy, Newman Williams.
Shirley W. Smith, has been singing since her early days of elementary school talent shows. Her musical influences included gospel great Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cook, and Otis Redding. But her greatest influence by far was from her dad, Newman Williams, an inspired blues guitarist and vocalist. Shirley began refining her vocal talents as a member of the female vocal group “The Starlight’s,” achieving early success at New York’s Apollo Theatre “Amateur Hour” winning a recording contract.
Daddy’s Girl, was a spontaneous inspiration between Shirley and her son, Jeffrey L. to honor the memory of her Father and his Grandfather, Newman Williams.
