First Single "No One Knows" Features Darby And Two Time Grammy Award Winner Peabo Bryson
Sept. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Newcomer Darby Williams commands the stage just as she commands her dynamic vocal range, with artistic creativity and a personal touch that captures the essence and the nuances of perhaps the greatest collaborators in jazz history – Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.
With her debut Roc Cartel album ME, titles such as “Something To Live For,” “Mood Indigo,” “Lush Life” and “Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me,” echo the sweltering notes and delicate compositions of Ellington and Strayhorn’s illustrious partnership. Williams’ interpretation of their compositions is both thoughtful and intoxicating and when combined with the nature of her phrasing, Darby’s feel for American Songbook material becomes both obvious and evident. The first single from the album, “No One Knows" features Darby and two-time Grammy Award winner Peabo Bryson in a soulful duet that is sure to keep your foot tapping.
Reflecting on the recording partnership on “No One Knows,” Peabo Bryson comments, “Darby is a fantastic vocalist with command and range. I've sung with the greats and she's more than holding her own."
Commenting on the new album, label founder and President of Roc Cartel, Ray De La Garza says, “Darby has such a diverse vocal range that her interpretation of these songs makes them relevant and accessible to everyone. We are looking forward to introducing this work to many who are not yet familiar with this legendary music, as well as, to those who hold a deep appreciation for these timeless classics.”
ME was co-produced by Jason Schweiter and Richard Flanzer and is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
