ECLIPSE OF THE SOUL - REMASTERED 2024
Originally released in 2012 at Studio 51 in Dunkirk, Maryland, Eclipse of the Soul is back and better than ever. Experience the magic of Lori Williams's transformative music in this remastered edition.
Critical Acclaim: "In the ever-crowded field of aspiring jazz vocalists, it is always such a pleasure to encounter an emerging artist who stands out in the crowd. Lori Williams is one such artist deserving of your attention. With 'Eclipse of the Soul,' Lori Williams has come out on the other side of that pathos, clear of mind, bursting with spirit, and delivering her music with a lovely smile. One of the hallmarks of this record is Lori’s programmatic range. Not intent to simply lay down a series of standards with typical piano-bass-drums jazz date accompaniment, she mixes her partners, engaging the cream of the DC area’s rich jazz crop to assist her, and warmly welcomes her children onto the date. One comes away from 'Eclipse of the Soul' rewarded by the obviously upward arc of Lori Williams' artistic development, and mightily impressed at her programmatic skills as well. Here's a singer who is definitely on the rise." - Willard Jenkins (2024 NEA Jazz Master)
Don't miss out on this incredible journey through sound and soul. Relive the passion, the growth, and the artistry of Lori Williams. Eclipse of the Soul is not just an album—it's an experience.
