Preview the new CD “Gary Williams Meets Frank Sinatra”

February 7th 2010

After weeks in the studio, I am delighted to let you hear a sample from “Gary Williams Meets Frank Sinatra” one of two new albums due for release in March.The Sinatra album is with Chris Dean and his orchestra, featuring a full big band throughout and strings on many tracks. It is in fact my first big band album. I’ve tried to focus on the classics without resorting to the most obvious choices. There are some stunning arrangements and particular favourites include All or Nothing At All, Brazil, They All Laughed, Please Be Kind and Where or When.

The second album is a compilation of the last three CDs recorded at Abbey Road, aptly named “Gary Williams – The Best of Abbey Road. Both should be released 1st May and be available by post Dress Circle and online from iTunes and all the other download sites.

    3. Liking the sound of this from the preview; I’ll look forward to checking out the whole thing once it’s released. Nice to hear the ‘best band in the land’ being put to good use and the vocals sound as superior as ever.

    The only problem I can see/hear is that I’m not playing on it!! ;-)

    7. I’m looking forward to listening to your album. (Songs like Frank Sinatra’s “Love’s Been Good To Me” has been my fav. for eternity.)If you release an album with this song, my friend and I will be your fans for life. I like your sound! I will certainly buy your album when released in Australia. Where have you been for along time? We could have enjoyed your sound, earlier.

    16. I can hardly wait for the release date. Wonderful orchestral backing and as usual perfect diction. When our’Big Band’ and ‘Sinatra’ clubs meet there is sure to be a selection played from your new C.D’s. Best wishes from Liverpool. x.
