When you hear someone like Tony play the drums, you hear all the possibilities that great discipline and awareness can open. Expressive drummers like Tony and Jack Dejohnette open our minds to the limitless.
@bubsterubster Between 1555 and 1931 the Jesuit Order was expelled from at least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversion plots against the welfare of the state, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute(Thomas J. Campbell).-J.E.C. Shepard

Trust me I lived through that era and Tony & Jimi played a lot live a lot up and around the New York area along with with a of great jazz musicans,but on the whole a lot people didn't want to hear Jimi playing jazz. That was a shame they played some bold shit.
Amazing artist. I love Tony's style of playing. Man; and who would have known that 2yrs later he would be in Heaven. RIP Mr. Williams. We miss you sir.
@buysometrysome Perhaps at live gigs? I have researched this era and genre of music pretty well, and never heard of Tony drumming with either. There are unreleased Hendrix studio sessions with Larry Young & John McLaughlin (Tony's partners in Lifetime), but the drummer on those was Buddy Miles. Hmmmm.....
Terrible interview, but precious to have footage of Mr. Williams at all, filmed two years before his untimely death. Of all the jazz drummers who ever lived, for me his death was the most unexpected and tragic, as creatively he was soooo young, and never would have stopped taking risks... (as Arcana suggests) R.I.P.
@fess04 There were two Arcana albums, actually. "The Last Wave" was the first, a trio record with Bill Laswell on bass and Derek Bailey on guitar, and the one Tony was recording when he passed, "Arc Of The Testimony"- it featured Pharoah Sanders on sax, Graham Haynes on cornet and Buckethead on guitar- it is a little more 'ambient' than "Last Wave", but still pretty out there. Both superb sessions...
@DarkeningSkies1 yup......and the "The Last Wave" is unreleased material.....you must get a copy....if you like can send you the tracks.....SICKNESS!!!!!!!! : )
@fess04 Oh, I know- they are fantastic. I have had 'em on CD for over a decade and still play 'em every now and again- "Last Wave" is indeed pretty vicious stuff, but with Bailey and Laswell onboard I expected nothing less. Thanks for the offer! ;)
Tony stays Focused and relaxed w/ these referances which really was not studied much.-on the Innterviewers part / There are a Rare Few Drummers in this World .the rest are hobbyists...
For interviewers, the worst thing is to become confused that you are somehow a peer of those you're interviewing- in this case one of the singular musicians in history.
If only there were such an interview with Larry Young. I saw Williams & Young just the two of them at Mandrakes in Berkeley about 1970, and it was the most intense chemistry I've ever seen- like a train going by an inch from your nose, otherworldly.
"emotional heavy lifting"... I loved that one! :)
hat off!
