William's subject is Petra Haden, daughter of jazz bassist Charlie Haden and one of the Haden triplets (Rachel is a bass player and Tanya is a cellist). She's a violinist and vocalist who has worked with a number of collaborators over the years. Her schtick is doing completely vocal versions of songs - she released an all-vocal version of The Who's album The Who Sell Out. Her latest release is Petra Goes to the Movies, in which she takes on some of her favourite movie themes.
