Darby Williams is tall, blond and sensual. She’s a sensual, confident, and very bodacious. Williams was signed personally by Ray De La Garza (label founder and president), to Roc Cartel. She captures the essence of two of the most important jazz collaborators in history – Duke Ellington, and Billy Strayhorn. “Darby’s vocal range is so diverse that she makes these songs relevant and easily accessible for everyone. We look forward to sharing this music with those who have a deep love for the timeless classics as well as those who are unfamiliar. -Ray De La Garza. Her debut album Me features titles like “Lush Life”, “Mood Indigo” and “Do nothin’ till You Hear from Me”. These songs echo the sweltering sounds and delicate compositions of this illustrious couple. Darby’s interpretations of their songs is both intoxicating and thoughtful. Her delicate phrasing and evident love for American Songbook material are immediately apparent. Darby and Peabo Bryson, two-time Grammy Award winners, sing “No One Knows”. It is a heartfelt duet that will keep you tapping your feet. from darbywilliamsmusic.com
