Details:
From Chicago, Carol Williams has spent the past three years performing on tenor sax with Gary Sinise and the "Lt. Dan Band', traveling worldwide with the USO.

As a songwriter, this is her third compilation of songs, and the second with internationally-known drummer Danny Gottlieb. On piano, flute, sax and vocals, her intricate arrangements and high-end production create compositions that "combine meaty lyrics with a folk song environment, and ensures that we catch her drift" (Jim Santella, All About Jazz). Indie-Music.com says "Carol Williams is an unusual artist in the best sense of the term, a feminine throwback to the great Mose Allison".

Formerly a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston, she also spent 7 years with US Army Bands, as well as receiving a NEA grant for recording and performing.
