trips me out how the younger set is all high on the new players who copy the greats but don;t know who Tony Williams is. this video is about the best of this era I've ever heard. Thank you. ... and nothing after this era is worth much... heading into electronica, but it's just not the same. the young set leaves me so cold... cold. . . . . cold
@rebusd I will be honest, I did not know who TW was until I started getting my degree in Music at my current university. Now I'm working on getting TW's discography. Sure, I'll still listen to a lot of drummers of today that have a name (the couple that come to mind are Portnoy, Matt Greiner, and Chris Adler). But I'm always amazed by TW, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, Max Roach, and the like.
@IPstixrawesume I read your post and thought it was mine for a second. I haven't heard/seen Matt Greiner yet, but I know portnoy and adler to an extent... I caught on to Tony during studies too. Anyone can be good, if they're playing music. Otherwise it sucks, lol. I think my original comment was a little aggressive and absolute, hahaha!. :) but look, you got him at your best time for active listening... peace
Hello, Ridden. I am persuaded, that all of these videos called Miles and Tony come from the same concert. You know for sure, where and when it was. Could you type it down
This is the second great quintet, correct? With Carter on bass, Shorter on sax, and Hancock on piano?

It's dumbfounding isn't it? Even more so that TW has sunken into obscurity since his death.
I guess it's the brightest flame thing....kind of a good for Tony when you think about it.

@Samsgarden I think any drummer who actually wants to be true knows who TW is, but that's just me, lol

To tell the truth I'm clueless.
I found these videos in my collection and uploaded them for a friend to see - I don't actually know where I got them or where they are from.
If you're able to find out - please send me a message and I'll add it to the info.
