| Video Discription | Episode 8: A conversation with Grammy Award winning bassist, composer, singer, bandleader, and producer, Ben Williams ►Ben Williams website: https://www.benwilliamsofficial.com When it comes to black music, Washington, D.C. produces its share of game-changers. That long list includes Duke Ellington, Chuck Brown, Marvin Gaye, Shirley Horn, Roberta Flack, Bad Brains, Meshell Ndegeocello, Wale, and Oddisee. You can add Ben Williams to that venerated roster. For more than a decade, Williams has steadily become one of the most acclaimed and versatile bassists in modern jazz. In 2009, he won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. He has performed/recorded with such giants as Pat Metheny, George Benson, Stefon Harris, David Sanborn, Lauryn Hill, Wynton Marsalis, Robert Glasper, Maxwell, and Nicholas Payton. In 2013 and 2015 Williams received the DownBeat Magazine Critics Poll Rising Star Award for Bass. Williams became a “Rising Star” when he won the 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Bass Competition Award that landed him his first record-deal with Concord Records. Thereafter, he recorded and released State of Art in 2011 with his band, Sound Effect. The Album received an impressive 4.5 Star Review in DownBeat Magazine and reached #1 on the charts of iTunes and the National BillBoard. He was named the 2011 iTunes Breakthrough Artist of the Year in the category of jazz. As a leader, Williams revealed his talents as a keen composer and bandleader on his first two Concord Records albums – State of Art (2011) and Coming of Age (2015). As gripping as those albums are, they don’t prepare you for Williams’ newest album, I AM A MAN, released Rainbow Blonde, a new imprint co-owned by singer, songwriter, and kindred spirit, José James. Sonically, the new album departs grandly from the mostly acoustic instrumental settings of his previous albums. Williams imbued his love for modern R&B and hip-hop and his socio-political awareness subtly on State of Art and Coming of Age. But on I AM A MAN, he brings them to the fore with mesmerizing vocal-centric songs that will surely raise his profile higher in modern soul and rap circles. “What makes everybody special is that they are one of one. Nobody can do what you do, and you can’t do what anybody else does”. ~Ben Williams ►Key Moments: 0:00 - Introductions 2:16 – Growing up in D.C. and the origin story… 9:10 – Hearing how music connects with life and soul. 9:35 – How we listen to music differently now 15:35 – Listening to music within different roles. 18:50 - Spending time with Pat Metheny 21:47 – Mentors and heroes, Rodney Whitaker, Stefon Harris, David Sanborn 28:25 – What makes you “you” reflects in the music. 32:42 – The vulnerability of singing 33:18 - José James and “I am a Man”, and social consciousness. 40:10 – What it means when YOU HAVE TO DO “IT” “The Universe rewards solid decisions…the doors will start to open”. 45:10 – New York, moving to L.A., and the next step 51:52: Let’s play something 52:32: Ben Williams/John Daversa Duo ►Follow John Daversa Online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johndaversa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnDaversaMusic/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/johndaversamusic Website: http://www.johndaversa.com ►Credits Host and Producer: John Daversa Video Editing: Max Nierlich Video and Audio Capture: Dudley Merriam Graphic Design: Marcus Sasseville Additional Graphic Design: Izzi Guzman Recorded in Coral Gables, FL, October 27, 2023 ►Music "The John Daversa Podcast" "Moonlight Muse" "Junk Wagon" All compositions composed and arranged by John Daversa Daversafications Publications (ASCAP) #benwilliams #jazzbass #johndaversa #johndaversapodcast [RxJ78AuBdjo] |
