Description
Inspiration comes in many forms. While on a world cruise inpsired by the seas and different countries visited, these works poured out. "I would hang back after the band's sets and work out my piano fantasies." Mood for Guitar#3 & Suite in Four Rooms were both inspired by the apartment in Italy where Larry lived with his now wife, Eileina. The suites' movements are named for each of the main rooms.
Larry's passion for composing music would begin to develop while stationed in Europe in a US Army band,and from exposure to the surrounding music scene of the times. Compositional efforts now range from the small combo "jazz tune" idiom to big band, from string quartets and brass quintets to small chamber ensembles, and a host of works for solo piano, solo guitar, as well as a newly completed trumpet sonata.
Moreover, there is a slight "legit" approach to this music
(even with a standard jazz combo instrumentation) due to Larry's symphonic background and education.
Originally from Orlando Florida, Larry Williams came to Los Angeles in l999, leaving behind an already celebrated career, which began early in life by winning many musical scholastic achievement awards. Among those accolades was holding principal trumpet in the Florida Youth Symphony, and all by the time he was 14.
While in Florida, Larry played and recorded with the best, including Ira Sullivan, Dave Liebman, Sam Rivers, Dizzy Gillespie, Danny Gottlieb, Nathan Page, Nat Adderley, George Mauro, Don Scaletta, Scott Whitfield, John Allred, Richard Drexler, and Mousey Alexander. Known throughout Central Florida as a headliner in his own right, Larry shared the spotlight with the likes of The Rippingtons, Richard Elliot, Special FX, David Benoit, Kevin Eubanks and many others, performing at events like the Kool Jazz Festival and the Orlando JazzFest.
Since coming to L.A. Larry has been involved in projects and performances alongside established jazzmen; Ernie Watts, Bill Watrous, Peter Erskine, Alan Pasqua, Brandon Fields, Shelly Berg, Bunny Brunel, Brian Auger, Eric Marienthal, Carl Saunders, and Bobby Shew.
