His Latin jazz rendition of Comes Love" was originally written and composed by Lew Brown, Sammy Stept, and Charles Tobias. Comes Love" is featured on his album, premoderism. The album features a mix of Straight-ahead, Bebop and Latin jazz.
Williams was also honored by receiving a Best Song nomination at the competition for Comes Love". Williams was up against more than 600 submissions to receive the honor of being in the top 5 submitted entries to qualify for the Best Song category.
Performing with Williams on premoderism is international jazz legend Justo Almario on flute, clarinet, and saxophone. Mark Massey created many of the arrangements, and plays piano on the project as well. Other contributing artists include Puerto Rican trumpet player David Soto, saxophonist Greg Parman, and trumpet player Steve Crum, who has toured with such greats as Diana Ross, Tom Jones, and Brian Setzer.
For some singers the melody and the lyrics almost get in the way of the cool notes that they want to sing. But for me, my main goal is to convey the story," said Williams. I love making memories with the music. I want to create the kind of evenings that people walk away with and talk about long afterwards."
