Maria Williams
Sultry Houston Singer/Songwriter Maria Williams is also known as Texas' only female to front and lead her OWN 15 Piece Swingin' Big Band. This CD (her 2nd) has garnered radio airplay from Alaska to Brazil, and from California to Boston. Rhythmic Remedy is a compilation and integration of her own original compositions infused with Jazz & Latin Rhythms, English translations of Latin classics, and, of course, Broadway Musicals and Big Band Jazz Standards.
With a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Houston, she has been entertaining and performing as a professional singer for more than twenty years. Her dance band is in high demand along the Texas Gulf Coast. The fourth of five children, she was born in Mexico to a Spanish Mother, yet her Father, a retired U.S. Colonel in the Air Force, gave her dual citizenship, along with a love of both cultures' food, dance, and music...

Versatile, smooth, beautiful
author: Mark O.From "Garden of Imagining" to "All that Jazz, to Sabor A Mi in Spanish," a wonderfully entertaining CD. Beautiful vocals and a really good band. Worth every penny.
Wonderful music !! I love the arrangements against Maria's Voice !
author: Amy LauroI love the choice of songs and the arrangements against Maria's Vocal abilities. WOW !! I listen to the CD all the time. Everyone should have her version of these classic songs.
Powerful Voice, Dynamic Energy
author: Vince MorenoMaria can make the transition from English to Spanish and back without missing a beat. The emotion and energy of each track keeps you listening. Nature Boy is well done. Nat Cole would be impressed. Besame Mucho and Sabor A Mi are classics reborn. Music arrangements are right on. What more does this artist have for us in the future? I wait for the next CD offering in anticipation.

GrrrrrrrrrGreat
author: Clarence GolbourneGreat CD. All the music on this CD is the bomb. I love the order that you placed the music. Starting the CD with that Island song put the CD over the top for me.
I get lost in this music!
author: A BryantThere are songs on this CD that I am truly going to wear out - I play them so much! I think Maria's versions of Sabor A Mi and Sleepwalk are classics and absolutely addictive. Her voice is intoxicating!
what a GREAT sound .... deserves more than 5 stars
author: kris johnsonincredible mix of big band blues and jazz -- and what a voice. i can't wait for her next cd
A moving and powerful performance and selection of songs
author: Buford SandersThis CD is a great blend of standards and original songs with tight arrangements and a true big-band sound. Maria's vocals are seductive to celestial as the occasion requires, and the CD is very satisfying and uplifting - a must for every collection!
Top shelf marks in voice and music
author: Dave SolomonVocals are fabulous, songs superbly executed. Band and music excellent. A different variety of songs that join a theme and flow together. Will please fans of jazz, pop, show tunes, country or standards. This has it all. The orchestral band is like one I have never heard before. Although it stands out on the tracks, the band does not over power the powerful vocalizing. The blend between the twois up to perfection. I have this CD and it gets more enjoyable each time i play it. A must have for any Cd Collection.
