The immortal Tony Williams,whom Miles Davis called "the baddest Mo' Fo' on the drums he ever heard, spreads the proto Jazz Rock fusion wings and tears it up. Allan Holdsworth, a guitar whom many pickers revere, loved Tony because he gave him the freedom to write his solos as Allan saw fit, Allan, to this day, plays homage to Tony by covering a few of the classics, such as 'Red Alert" and "Proto-cosmo" at his shows.A killer!
If you wish Herbie Hancock and crew had done a few more tunes like Vein Melter and Butterfly grab this CD for a couple more..Tony Williams makes the drums more like an instrument, not just a perfect timepiece....Heard this at a break in NYC at 55 Bar...True Fusion. Distinctive frantic virtuosity. Doubt you have heard anything like it..Futurist sounds pushing the boundries between Jazz and Rock, with a few Funk tracks to bring it back to Earth. Energy with a capital E. Weird breaks and changes and sudden melodies. Try it you WILL like it...
Great CD for Tony Williams fans! Shows him in a variety of band settings. You'll enjoy this. Normally I don't like compilations but this one is well done. Sound quality is excellent. You won't be disappointed.
I have owned this disc, since it came out, about five times. It is the best representation/overview of Tony's "Electric" fusion bands. A Definite MUST HAVE for Drummers(Williams), Keyboard Players(Alan Pasqua), and, Guitarists(Alan Holdsworth)
