BERNIE WILLIAMS
Without question, New York Yankees superstar Bernie Williams is one of the most popular and talented players in major league baseball, and one of the most well known athletes in pro sports. Any baseball fan knows how Bernie Williams plays. The center fielder has consistently flashed grace, passion, disciplined focus and a remarkably fluid sense of rhythm in feats both at the plate and in the field that have made him truly the heir in his role to no less than Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. But ask Bernie Williams what he wanted to be when growing up, and he’ll say it was to be a professional musician. A classically trained guitarist, playing and composing music is Bernie’s first true passion with influences that include jazz, classical, pop, Brazilian and Latin sounds.
His major label debut, The Journey Within reflects his lifelong passion for music and encompasses his rich and varied musical palette. In addition to playing lead and rhythm guitar, Williams composed seven songs for the album. Tracks like “La Salsa En Mi” mix Bernie’s love of jazz with the sophisticated Latin rhythms of his Puerto Rican heritage. |
