Tom Williams
Trumpeter-Drummer-Composer-Bandleader
“I think Tom Williams is one of the strongest young trumpeters out here, who
deserves wider recognition. He’s not only strong melodically and
harmonically, he is also strong rhythmically because he’s a drummer as well
as a trumpet player.”
· Jimmy Heath, master saxophonist-composer

A native of Baltimore, Tom Williams has led a sparkling and varied career since he
began studying trumpet and drums as a child. His talent was recognized at an early
age by many, and he began working steadily on both trumpet and drums while still a
high school student.
After matriculating at Towson State University, Tom joined the renowned Duke
Ellington Orchestra, under the direction of Mercer Ellington, with whom he played
the national tour of the Broadway smash“Sophisticated Ladies”, also touring Japan
with the road company. In 1987 he enlisted in the US Army and served 8 years as a
featured soloist with the“Jazz Ambassadors”and“Army Blues”jazz ensembles. In
1991 he was a finalist and 2nd place winner in the first Louis Armstrong International
Jazz Trumpet Competition sponsored by the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.
A versatile performer, Tom has played in the show bands of Pattie Labelle, Liberace,
Anita Baker, Sid Caesar, Joe Williams, Stevie Wonder and Rosemary Clooney, to
name a few. He has appeared at numerous jazz festivals and venues with artist
such as Donald Brown, Hank Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Gary Bartz, The Vanguard
Jazz Orchestra, The Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, Michel Legrand, Ben Riley, Steve
Wilson, The Woody Herman Orchestra, Frank Foster, Antonio Hart, Slide Hampton,
and Steve Turre.
Tom has recorded with Rob Bargad, Gary Bartz, Donald Brown, Antonio Hart,
Jimmy Heath, The Heath Brothers, Larry Willis, and Steve Wilson. As a leader on
trumpet, Tom has recorded two CD’s, Introducing Tom Williams, and Straight Street,
on the Criss Cross Jazz™label. As a drummer, Tom has performed with Curtis
Fuller, Larry Willis, Javon Jackson, Kenny Drew Jr., Gloria Lynn, Geoff Keezer and
is leader of InterPlay, which has recorded“First Time”and“Pick Up The Pieces”on
the JazzScapes™label.

African-Centered Lectures, Tours to Egypt and Ethiopia, DVDs and CDs By Ashra Kwesi and Merira Kwesi Kemet Nu Productions

The next Kemet Nu Egypt Tour July 2012 Come celebrate with us 30 Years of Research, Travel & Tour Experience in Egypt Ashra Kwesi and Merira Kwesi are lecturers on African history, civilization, religion and culture. They present lively and dynamic slide presentation productions and videos based on their extensive study and travel on the African continent. Their startling and revealing information on the African origin of many of the concepts and symbols now utilized by the western world is due to their focus on the ancient African Nile Valley. These national and international lecturers also conduct the Kemet Nu "Know Thyself" Educational Tours to Egypt and Ethiopia. Brother and Sister Kwesi link the historical with the present in order to bring "our story" to life. Notice the resemblence. It's not a coincidence His compelling lectures are based on 29 years of historical expeditions in Africa, covering Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana. 14 of those were spent as an apprentice to the renowned scholar,

Dr. Yosef ben Jochannan.
