by Dwight L. Quinn
4/14/2014

 

TERRY WILLIAMS is a particularly rhythmic and energatic organist who works within what is essentially a Rhythm and Blues mode, that is less Jazz than it is Jazz oriented.
As is true of nearly all organists,TERRY began his career as a pianist and led his own combo in high school and worked his earlier years with some of the midwest's  prominent legends.
Jimmy "Night-Train"Forrest, Tab Smith,Chuck Berry and later while traveling with the Royal American Show in the Caribbean, joined Arthur and Red Prysock in Puerto Rico at the EL San Juan Hilton. Upon his return from touring, TERRY took over the band leader  position at Leo's famous Blue Note Club, and after a lengthy stay at the Blue Note Club,TERRY went into the International Playboy Club circuit that lasted for five (5) years. One year of that time as band leader with St.Louis own Gene Lynn which altimately evolved into, "The Gene Lynn Show", on St. Louis Television Channel 30.

TERRY travels and rapidly growing reputation gained him respect from his friends and
colleages. Organist Jimmy Smith, Richard"Groove"Holmes, the late Sonny Stitt and Gene Ammons
are only a few of the Super Stars with whom TERRY performed.

TERRY WILLIAMS is by no means a newcomer to show business and the World of Jazz. He exploits
in radio and television is unlimited. TERRY has worked on five major television stations
in the St. Louis area,channels 2,4,5, 9 and 30. TERRY shared billing with Billy Eckstine
and Timmie Rodgers at the Kiel Auditorium,St. Louis now known as the Peabody Center,at
which time Mr. Eckstine publically acknowledged, that TERRY had the biggest four piece
band he had ever heard".

TERRY, also a top vocalist,diversifies his expertise with warm, easy flowing and well
controlled voice of a balladeer.

TERRY WILLIAMS joined the Quinn Records TM's family of recording artists in February 2003.
