He regularly tours and records with Al Jarreau.[2] His film and television work include saxophone in the film Dreamgirls (uncredited on the corresponding soundtrack album), and sax and keyboards on several Grammy Award telecasts in the 2000s.[3]

He knows me inside and out, Jarreau says of Williams. It was just natural for him to do the arrangements, because he knows where I've been, what I like doing, and how I am these days onstage.
