"Thurman Green Scholarship Jazz Festival"

" . . . Vocalist Vertice Williams was the surprise hit of the afternoon. This was partially due to the fact that I wasn�t familiar her and her very talented group. She won me over very fast during her opening tune which is jazz standard entitled "Moondance". She continued her crowd pleasing set with a couple of original songs "Give Me Your Love", and "Loves Holiday". These two tunes revealed her pleasant smooth vocal styling in the R&B genre. She demonstrated her powerful vocal range on Etta James�s "At Last". The gifted musicians accompanying Vertice consisted of Michael McDonald-guitar, Stoney Dixon-bass, Gary Henry-drums, 7Days-keyboards, and two equally beautiful vocalists Kim Foley and Rainy Days. . . ."

Deze Amerikaanse zwarte zangeres werd geboren in “Cow Town”, ofwel Fort Worth in Texas, en groeide op in Pasadena, Californïe. Op tweejarige leeftijd zong ze al gospel in de kerk. Later volgde ze piano, viool en gitaarlessen, om op negenjarige leeftijd haar talent als songwriter te ontdekken. Ze zong als lead en achtergrondzangeres met verschillende bands, en trad op voor Kenny G., Melissa Manchester, Arnold Schwarzenegger enz. Bovendien werkte ze samen met tal van artiesten zoals Phil Upchurch enz. In 2002 werd ze “Black Music Award” winnares als “Female R&B Performer of the Year”, en in 2003 als “R&B Performer of the Year” en als “Best R&B Recording”. Uiteindelijk kreeg ze de kans om haar debuutcd op te nemen, samen met producers William Bryant en Jarret Michaels. Alle songs op haar cd zijn composities die ze zelf schreef of eraan meewerkte. Haar sound is uiteraard old school R&B, met invloeden van gospel, pop, en een tikkeltje smooth jazz. Ze klinkt verrassend goed, soms gevoelig, en zeer melodisch. De openingstrack ‘Give Me Your Love’ is zeer goed, maar eigenlijk bevat deze schijf geen slechte nummers. Vertice is een aangename ontdekking, en ik hoop nog meer van haar te horen!

"Sonic Soul:Groove & Beaz"

Die Queen des Independent R&B / Soul? Zumindest mit begründeter Anwartschaft - Vertice Williams ist mittendrin, statt nur dabei – die Frau geht mit Marketing und Promotion offen, selbstverständlich und offensiv um – Eigenschaften, die in der unabhängigen Szenerie wahrlich nicht zum Alltag gehören. So bleibt Vertice nicht ungehört – und ihre erste CD bietet auch genügend Grund dazu. Auf moderner Basis produziertes Song-Material, das die modische Attitüde nicht über Gebühr strapaziert, sondern in jedem Moment angenehm hörbar bleibt. Chartstauglich ja, aber unter konsequentem Verzicht auf quasselnde Gast-Artisten oder aufgesetzte Technik.
Stattdessen bietet Frau Williams delikate Mid-Tempo Grooves, die sie auf ebensolche Weise vokal zum Besten gibt – vor allem ihre Arbeiten mit einem gewissen William Bryant verfügen über diesen gewissen Kribbel-Touch – Sweet-Soul-Seduction bei „Give Me Your Love“ oder „You“.
Jarrett Michaels führt die Lady ansonsten sicher durch die Klippen zwischen Moderne („This Is Ish“) und Klassik („Thankful“) – gute Unterhaltung für jedwede Gelegenheit, auf Grundlage recht geschmackvoller, computer-generierter Arrangements und unaufdringlichem Produzententum. Über und von Vertice Williams wird zukünftig noch zu hören sein.
