Pinnacle (album)


Pinnacle is the first album that Irv Williams released not under his own name but as the Irv Williams Trio, on which Irv Williams on tenor saxophone is joined by long-time partner Billy Peterson on bass and Steve Blons on guitar. Its official release date is July 6, 2015.
The Special Edition of Pinnacle consists of 13 musical tracks and highlights of an exclusive conversation, split into six segments, between the jazz saxophonist and late jazz broadcaster Leigh Kamman, whose career spanned over six decades conducting thousands of interviews with the “jazz who’s who”. This historic conversation gives insight into some rare musical history and a few funny stories. This conversation became Kamman´s last recorded interview, as he died away in October 2014.
