\"Bradhead<\/a>Bradley Williams here! Welcome to my first blog entry here at The New 21st Century Review site. Those that know me know I have little difficulty expounding at length on any available subject, so, in spite of my initial resistance, perhaps\u00a0it’s a perfect match. It does seem appropriate that this post occurs during the commercially-supported celebration of romance and love because so much of the music we form and perform circles around these subjects.<\/p>\n

The motivating force behind this blog is to spread the word about our new endeavor here in Chicago, Bradley Williams’ New 21st Century Review<\/strong> in a recurring Wednesday performance at the legendary Jazz Showcase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Our show features myself as omniscient narrator and host, our three very fine vocalists, Gingi Lahera, Jennifer Graham and Manny Baker, and a fantastic 7-piece band performing a wide spectrum \"WDCB_Jazz_URL-png\"<\/a>of Jazz-influenced music spanning the last 100 years,\u00a0 including original works of my own. With the support and encouragement of Dr. Joe and Wayne Segal, the owners of the Jazz Showcase, we’ve initiated a signature evening of great Chicago talent, and are striving to create a local musical institution. We’re also fortunate to have, as our radio sponsor, the fine folks at WDCB in Glen Ellyn.<\/p>\n
