Buster Williams is a man with a strong sense of purpose and a very clear sense of his musical direction. He is also a musician of prodigious gifts - which is implicit in the fact that his years of professional bass playing have included work with Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Chet Baker, Woody Shaw, and McCoy Tyner, among many other members of the jazz hierarchy. He is unquestionably one of the giants of the double bass, and his status is a product not only of his natural aptitude, but also of his natural attitude - because Buster Williams is a man who believes in setting himself the highest creative goals. Williams composed five of the seven pieces and wrote all the arrangements. To bring the music to life he had the services of some most distinguished associates. It would be redundant to recite the credentials of Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Al Foster. This is a most refreshing and exhilarating album to which Buster Williams has brought a high level of creativity and total integrity. Though very much a personal statement, it is patently a mutually-inspirational collective endeavor because the music is made for the musicians, and the musicians made for the music. As well as being a most articulate soloist, Buster is also an outstanding, listening accompanist for whom the experience of playing for some of the great singers - Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter, and Dakota Staton - has clearly informed his approach to rhythm section playing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"In and Out Records","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":56980682015051,"sku":"R0190-8696","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0798747717410_7c5a4e47-dff0-4be5-8855-17c9e0e1e131.jpg?v=1775659982"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/buster-williams.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
