ATLANTA -- When Fred Williams isn't scouting or drawing up offensive plays for the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, he's normally sitting at his laptop laying down music tracks.
Inspired by former NBA player and musician Wayman Tisdale, Williams - whose stage name is Freddy Bass - finds enjoyment away from the basketball court during offseason infusing contemporary jazz with hip-hop and R&B.
Now, the 53-year-old assistant coach is expected to release his album - "Game Time" - on March 4. He says the album will feature himself playing the electric guitar and keyboard, the alto saxophone and clarinet.
Williams has already recorded more than 200 tracks, but he dwindled the number of songs to 11 for his upcoming album, which took him just over a year to produce.
