Lynchburg’s popular young jazz pianist Isaac Williams’ concert will feature songs honoring the memory of his mentor and friend Jane Baber White, some premieres of his own compositions, and some “street” music he’s been working on with Charles Bailey on Electric Bass and Brian Cox on drums.

​Isaac Williams, a native of Lynchburg, VA, got his start in music at the age of 8 when his parents purchased him a toy keyboard. By 11, Isaac was playing for his church and at local venues. In 2019 Isaac debuted his Trinity Jazz Trio to a packed house at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Lynchburg. Since then, Isaac’s trio has played at venues such as The Flat 9 Club, Stonebridge Fall Festival, and District Winery in Washington D.C. In 2022, his instrumental trio, along with featured vocalist Senobia Smith, played for Amherst Java & Jazz. Isaac also has played as a sideman to saxophonist Joseph Henson.
