Valdo O. Williams (March 30, 1928 – July 8, 2010)[1][2] was a Canadian post bop free jazz pianist best known for his trio work with Reggie Johnson and Stu Martin, who recorded together for the Savoy record label. He appeared on Canadian television with Charlie Parker in the 1950s and with Hal Singer in the 1960s.[3] Scott Yanow's review of New Advanced Jazz comments on Williams "performing free jazz that has a strong forward movement and generally swings."[3]
