Larry Williams: "The Beautiful Struggle"

Larry Wiliams has always been one of the best musicians to me. He is well known as a Keyboard/ Sax player of the legendary group "Seawind" back in the late 1970s. After break up of "Seawind", he has alway been a top notch musician in composing, arranging, playing and producing many music projects for well known musicians but other than for himself.

To everyone's surprise, "The Beautiful Struggle" released in December 2001 is the very first solo project of Larry Williams. Although everyone may assume that Larry's solo album would be smooth jazz/ contemporary jazz one, Larry did very straight-ahead jazz. I was also pleased to find reunion of "Seawind Horns" and Pauline Willison (Seawind's lead singer) in several tracks. The sound is amazingly polished, cool, solid, and thrilling. If you like straight-ahead jazz, you will love this CD. Another surprsing fact is that this CD is released in Japan only. You can buy this CD from Amozon. It costs a little more than usual CDs, but many people found that it really pays off.
