From hitting a grand slam to strumming his guitar, Bernie Williams is an all around winner. His second album, Moving Forward, features guest appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Secada, Dave Koz, The Harlem Boys & Girls Alumni Choir, Famed Yankee announcer Bob Sheppard and an All-Star cast of renowned studio musicians. Throughout Williams’ years with The Yankees, his passion for music never waned, and the sound of a guitar would often be heard emanating from the clubhouse or during team flights. Whether acoustic or electric, a guitar was a constant presence in the star’s locker or equipment bag, and it was no surprise in 2003 when he demonstrated how serious his musical pursuit was with the release of his first album, The Journey Within. The record featured fusions of jazz, rock and the tropical rhythms of Williams’ heritage (as well as guest appearances by fellow musicians such as Ruben Blades and Gilberto Santa Rosa) and was met with both strong critical praise and instant chart success – reaching #3 on Billboard’s “Contemporary Jazz Chart.”
