The Booker T Cookbook
"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins.
In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time).
Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension.
Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo.
Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn."
Howard Lee Naylor
"Howard arrived on time, promptly set up and was professional and polite. Howard shared his web page to listen to some of his work, this helped me to know what to expect and I was very happy to find him in a short notice. We enjoyed having Howard play at our client event. We received great feedback and reviews from our guests, everyone enjoyed his music! Howard even took and played some requests!"
Scotty Swan
"Professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. The mellow jazz and pop vibes were exactly what we wanted early on, and the energy shift later was seamless. Guests kept asking where the music was coming from."

Madame Mackintosh
"As Madame Mackintosh began to sing the couple's first dance song, it was as if the entire room held its breath, captivated by the depth of her voice. Her setlist, a thoughtful blend of original songs and beautifully reimagined covers, enriched the atmosphere and brought an emotional dimension to the celebration. Drawing from genres as diverse as pop, rock, country and traditional wedding music, her repertoire showcased not only her versatility but her keep ability to capture the spirit of the moment.
The Madame's voice ranged from a soft velvety croon to a powerful , resonant anthem, filling the room with palpable energy. She effortlessly expressed the love and joy radiating from the bride and groom. Whether performing heartfelt ballads or upbeat dance numbers, she imbued each song with a warmth and authenticity that resonated with everyone in attendance.
What truly set her apart was her adaptability. Unlike DJs confined to their pre-selected playlists, the Madame embraced spontaneity, taking requests from guests and even offering inspired suggestions that added personal and unexpected touches to the evening. Madame Mackintosh didn't just perform; she became part of the celebration's heartbeat, leaving everyone in awe of her artistry."
