Good one, Ken! Thanks! I do believe Tony Williams' last recording was a Columbia release named "Young at heart." A trio of Mulgrew Miller and Ira Coleman on bass. The recording summarizes all that you stated of his playing style. The cd is a nice bookend to a great career! It's worth a search for!

I was 16 when i first heard Mahavishnu. I had already been a major 70s prog rock fan by that time. Mahavishnu opened me up to jazz and other jazz fusion. Tony and Billy Cobham were my favorite drummers in those days. I'm 54 now. I still love both of them, but I've been gravitating towards Tony quite a bit lately. I still love Billy, but as you mentioned, he's a GREAT heavy hitter, but I think Tony is much more creative all around. Great video and interesting commentary. RIP Tony

If you haven’t already check out Hellborg’s album ‘The Word’. Acoustic bass, Tony on drums with a string quartet. Incredible album!

Tony! very informative analysis of Tony. What a sensation who single-handedly changed drumming.

To be honest, I’m guilty of disregarding late period Tony Williams too much - that Billy Drummond comment and this video really makes me want to reconsider that stuff.

Maybe check out his last CD that one of the commenters noted a trio CD young atheart. I need to.

I bought those Lifetime Live LPs from Fred there. You were the only shop I could find carrying them at the time.

Amazing guy. Watching those videos of the great Miles Davis quintet with a child playing the drums is astonishing.

I JUST bought my first Tony Williams record at Amoeba when I was in San Francisco last week. I heard Geo Rose on a Spotify playlist shortly after a friend mentioned him to me and there it was, a nice copy of Civilization, waiting to be plucked from the rack. Now I’m busy tracking down his other ‘80s Blue Note releases. Some of the best hard bop I’ve ever heard. Heavy!

@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 I never could get into him. Ever. All I could say is his earlier stuff, before he got into that talksinging schmaltzy stuff was not as bad. Nonetheless, I'll keep revisiting and see. Maybe my tastes will change?!
