Heart Song is the latest offering from the incomparable sax and flute man, Al Williams III. With a depth of tone and a freshness of sound that comes from years of playing with greats like Stanley Clarke and Mongo Santamaria, Al has earned rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, with JazzTimes noting the "poetic beauty" of his solos. In spring of 2008, Al signed with the Pacific Coast Jazz record label for the distribution and promotions of Heart Song.

A native of Philadelphia, Al has toured and recorded five albums with Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria and appears on Mongo's Grammy Award winning album "Amanacer." Al then joined high school and college buddies as an original member of Stanley Clarke's School Days Band, recording three groundbreaking albums, "Modern Man," "I Want to Play for You," and "Stanley Clarke Live, '76, '77."
