Capping a multi-faceted 35-year career as a saxophonist and educator that’s taken him around the world and allowed him to vibe with everyone from Roy Hargrove and Miami Sound Machine to Kim Waters, Jamie WilliamS. dropped his long-awaited sophomore album TONGUE TIED in 2024. Perhaps responding to an anxious world ever more in need, he goes full on with the re-release of his soaring and empowering 2007 gospel-urban jazz take on Stevie Wonder’s eternally inspiring “Overjoyed.” Featuring mega star Jennifer Hudson, her dramatic and moving guest vocals are as fresh and welcome as the day it was recorded. The duo truly surpasses Stevie’s original for sheer emotional intensity!
