Larry Williams - trumpet,flugelhorn,composer.
Larry is the sock that never turns up from the wash-room, and sometimes the apple that escapes from the basket on the way to the truck, but his music will delight you like a great chardonnay, like the feel of freshly laundered underwear.
His trumpet sound is; Bigger than a breadbox, better than a pizza-stomach.
"Life has a lot to offer. Not all of it is pleasant, but it's all useable in the creative process, like watching a sunrise, people's driving habits, or listening to small children play, everything has its own rhythm and/or melody" "Much of this so-called creative process for me

The tunes are sweet! They sound fun to play. whether they are original and arrangements are very well constructed, and the album flows nicely. The rhythm section(s) are very supportive overall, I love the drum/ bass hook up on track one, which it seems was a new melody over the framework of the standard, stella by starlight. Nice work, LW! I woulnt expect anything else from you.

Brilliant writing, flawless playing and a pure delight!

"The Bridge" is by far my favorite Larry Williams album! It courageously walks a fine line between traditional bop , experimental and modern styles without sounding forced or gratuitous. The band has the chops to pull off William's more complicated compositions and the sensitive touch required to explore his soulful and deeply introspective ballads. His great technical agility is a given, but it is his warm, rich and focused trumpet sound that transcends the common practice of the genre and most of his peers as well.
His sophisticated and graceful composition, "on the 25th.day should" should be nominated for a Grammy ... maybe two.

This is a CD by someone with respect for his instrument and respect for jazz. Everything is really well thought out, really well put together, and really well played. I highly recommend this CD for any jazz library.
