Eddie Williams



US jazz trumpeter Eddie Williams is based out of New York City. He has performed on nearly two dozen albums of mainstream jazz recorded between the mid-'50s and early '80s. His style ranges from hard bop to soul-jazz, and is most noted for his appearances on Lou Donaldson's 1969 releases titled Hot Dog and Everything I Play Is Funky. More recently, Williams performed in the early-'90s comeback album of soul singer Solomon Burke, and also figures prominently in the funky Blue Break Beats series. He even trumpeted as a part of Broadway pit bands.
