The Art of Leon Williams

A souvenir CD from one of Leon’s recent US tours will give you a taste of what it was like in over 40 cities when Leon arrived with his booming baritone in a white Chevy Uplander. Negro Spirituals, Show tunes from Porgy and Bess, Man of La Mancha, and Showboat and some gems from the art song catalogues of Charles Ives and Aaron Copland will have you wishing you had been there.

In keeping with Leon’s daredevil vocal styling he takes on some of the most famous vocal masterpieces of Broadway in this collection and lands every one with vocal power and beauty. With Michael Fennelly and Bradford Ross on piano.
