Album Notes

Kali Records' latest release, Dyami, continues to support the label's uncompromising approach to bringing you music that is both fresh and spontaneous. Emotional and thought provoking, it is music in the moment, devoid of any preconception. Dyami is a musical tale which has never been told before.

Jimmy Williams, Joel Futterman, and Vasili Simmons are three artists who have collaborated with some of the most influential musicians in Improvised Music. With ties to such extraordinary performers as Jimmy Lyons, William Parker, Joe Fonda, Michael Jefry Stevens, and Hal Russell, this trio nurtures Dyami from its conception to its fruition. Seamless musical interaction and a vast array of intensities, dynamics, sonic textures and moods are represented in this collaboration between these three modern improvisers.

Kali is batting 1000%. Jon Morgan, Cadence

One of the most refreshing voices on guitar today is Jimmy Williams. Frank Rubolino, One Final Note

Joel Futterman's adventurous conceptual approaches, multidimensional frameworks and acute realizations further secure his rather impressionable stature within this ever-evolving art form. Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz
