You're about to hear a lady in the tradition of the best we've ever had...Lady Day, Sarah and Ella. Sherry Williams is the incomparable present-day combination of those ladies. But Sherry offers so much of herself! In a perfect mix of standard items like "Let's Fall In Love", "Foggy Day" and "Summertime", Sherry introduces "'Tis Better to Have Loved and Lost", and Weren't You the One?" 

And yet, the important things are her sensitive interpretations and her soulful delivery of all the music and all the words! And...She's backed by the superb, tasteful arranger-pianist, John Rodby, bassist Harvey Newmark, and drummers Harold Mason and Mark Stevens. They are one with Ms. Williams and what a treat that is! Sherry makes familiar pieces her own. "Round Midnight" and "Lush Life" stripped of the extraneous, performed with only Al Viola's guitar, and the above mentioned standards...They all belong to Sherry Williams. And that's what makes this very touching collection so memorable. Give her your listening space, and the lady will fill it with her magic. ~ Jack Segal https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/sherryw

Sherry Williams' release, "You Must Believe In Spring", is a collection of popular songs that have thought provoking, profound lyrics which Williams uses to conjure up images that are illuminating and uplifting. The Bergman tune "On My Way to You" is a hauntingly beautiful self portrait. The timeless "You Must Believe In Spring" tells us that all things are possible. Brenda Russell's amazing "The Last Day" asks us to remember what it's like to live "in the moment like when we were young"... and to examine our inner beliefs. Sherry also turns the standard "Blue Skies" into a happy jazzy samba and briskly swings "On A Clear Day".

When you listen to Sherry on "You Must believe in Spring" you realize immediately that Sherry Williams is a consummate singer - the real thing. "The sound of her voice reminds one of a muted coronet" said colleague Mary Stallings. She is also more engaged in the meaning of a song than many artists will allow themselves to be. This is who she really is - open and accessible. This is a powerful and moving CD. When you listen to "You Must Believe In Spring", you will definitely feel a breath of fresh air.
