Pat Metheny Unity Group player, the Monk Prize-winning bassist Ben Williams, has a new solo album out this month with his band Sound Effect to be released in the States on 21 April.

The album, Washington DC-born ex-Julliard masters student Williams’ second as a leader, arrives four years on from the release of State of Art, and features treatments of Nirvana’s 1990s grunge anthem ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and also soulstress Lianne La Havas’ much more recent song ‘Lost and Found’ plus original material.
