Tony's overplaying and there is probably some medication involved here.

[druman44]

I love that jealous excuse for not likening a perfomance, hes "over playing" while this can be true, (usually with younger talent) it funy when i see it stated in regard to the greats, even guys like buddy rich who i guess always overplayed then. dude i laugh, its like saying to a Picasso or Leonardo da vincii that they OVER PAINT, or over panted that...its a fucking joke. get off that medication ehardi.

joe henderson was the sickest of the sick...the tits of the balls....the SHIT!

[rklionel]

That "overplaying" blends so well with the rest.

They all "overplay"....playin' their asses off....

[kriskors]

@druman44 He's over playing. Just because he's one of the "greats" doesn't mean he is great all the time.

They're all human...

[Slamule]

Solos are too short. Could have listened to this forever! Thanks druman for posting this & your comments responding to ehardi.

[DUANESKEE]

My opinion Joe Henderson was the greatest tenor sax man of all times..,

[TheHardCore89]

@ehardi man he just gives the right improvisation to a great jazz groove; it's normal to these guys...

[trombonermusic]

That's not over playing just high energy....

[saxoman1]

Oh, and of course Freddie piped my day as well. He swings right out the gate with a bad ass line. WOO!

[saxoman1]

Okay... (please excuse my language but...) 3:32 just FUCKED my mind over. Seriously Joe. WTF is wrong with you? That line just piped everything I have heard in the last ten days... Hell. It piped my life lol. Need to get in the SHED!

[acloakwithahood]

I included the contributions that Tony Williams made to Jazz drumming in a couple of papers that I wrote in college. I was able to use interviews from people who had worked with his sidemen, like Ira Coleman, and I found no evidence of substance abuse. However, apparently, Tony did appreciate a good cigar. CB

@Whatisthescore woops that last sentence didn't make sense lol I meant he uses pick ups so he doesn't have to pluck as much to drive the swing... that's annoying definitely.
