	Musicians - Pamela Williams

Pamela Williams is a smooth jazz saxophonist with deep roots in R&B and soul music. She is one of five female saxophonists in the genre (Candy Dulfer, Mindi Abair, Amy Lee, and Sonya Jason are the others).

Williams grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was also the adopted hometown of an early influence of hers, Grover Washington, Jr. She first found fame as a member of Patti LaBelle's backup band, and her career took off from there. Williams played soprano and alto saxophones.

In 1996, Williams recorded her first solo album, called Saxtress. She often drew comparisons to Dulfer, and those comparisons would continue throughout her career.

Later albums include Eight Days to Ecstasy, Evolution, and A Perfect Kind of Love. Her music continues to carry the same soulful vibe that Washington had provided throughout his career. In 2003, Williams' successful career, as well as Dulfer's own, paved the way for Abair.
