The past few years have been very good for adult contemporary pianist/composer William Woods. His second CD, Cobalt Blue, was released to critical acclaim and picked up a Smoothie Award along the way. In addition, the first track lifted for radio play, "Blue Me Down", was included by WJZW DJ Al Santos in his 2004 Top 50 Year End Countdown. His third release, the Top 40's Every Part Of Me, his first on the Whaling City Sound label received rave reviews including JazzTimes, spent four months on the smooth jazz charts and was featured on the Music Choice cable network. Building on his success and momentum, he released his fourth and most compelling CD to date, The Hear and Now on Whaling City Sound in September 2006.
Given that he is the son of professional violinist Lee Kanter, it’s not surprising that Woods, who was born in Englewood, New Jersey, started out on strings. However at the age of nine he discovered a much greater affinity for piano and developed a passion for both improvisation and composition. A tragic side note to his musical development was written when, as a student of New York City composer and musicologist, Ernest Lubin, he arrived one day for class to find that his instructor had been murdered. He was able to move on from this horror and pursued his studies at Juilliard where he first performed some of his original works. read more
