Live At Yoshi's, Vol. 1

Williams opens the CD with an entrancing solo on "I’m Confessin’ That I Love You." She sways gently on "Say It Over and Over Again" by Frank Loesser and Jimmy McHugh and then picks up the pace on "You Say You Care" by Jules Styne and Leo Robin. Both Williams and Drummond pluck their instrument’s strings to create a slinky, funk effect on Williams’ original, "Tutu’s Promise." Then Williams draws out the emotion of Billy Cobham’s "Heather" beautifully before reconstructing the standard, "Alone Together." Her thoughtful, expressive "Poem in G Minor" follows. On "I Want To Talk About You" by Billy Eckstine and Anne-Rachel, Williams makes the listener feel like the song is being sung to him. Williams closes with "Mysterioso" by one of her favorite composers and strongest influences, Thelonious Monk.
