Anthony Williams was nothing short of a musical phenomenon. Anthony or Tony came to New York when he was 17 and was heard by Miles Davis and joined the Davis group which was known as "The Second Great Miles Davis Quintet". Tony revitalized Miles and impressed all who heard him. Refreshing, innovative, strong were just a few of the adjectives describing this young man's work. He did two edgy and innovative albums for Blue Note during 1964/65 and tonight's Jazz Feature is his second. The album was called "Spring". Five Williams compositions are heard and the participants are tenor saxophonists Wayne Shorter and Sam Rivers. Herbie Hancock is on piano and the bassist is Gary Peacock. The music is edgy and fresh and takes some unexpected turns. The music is as I describe "freedom with responsibilities". "Spring" will wake you up and Tony Williams is the second of our month long look at some dummer/leaders.
