    Fortunate enough to catch this jazz prodigy's (only 17yrs old and already playing with Miles Davis!) act in 1989..., same band almost w/ Mulgrew Miller on piano. I'm a drummer myself..., learned a lot about jazz playing watching this guy's performance!

    This performance was a very delicate, aristocratic, and beautiful sound.
    I want without forgetting. Many people who love jazz truly are also in Japan.

    Always loved jazz fusion aggressive Jazz not much for traditional or modern jazz until one late night on or around 1992 saw in public tv Miles Davis Quincy Jones with Wallace Rooney this after Miles had passed couldn't stop the tears ever since then it set my heart on fire love Tony and love love this tune

      +BRC I think so too. I saw tony in toronto, I think it was maybe'92 or 93, maybe 94 when my mother died but I thin bk it was earlier than that. tony his cigars and his single at ahlf time, and I was seated within three feet of him and his drums and I saw my idol, who i considered my mentor on the kit. We had a couple of Havanas and shared a few single malts and the next time I heard anything of him he was dead. When you feel like maybe because of your time behind the kit and the person who made the most sense for me was him so there was a connection especially when I opened up to him and said due if it had not been for you I may have always remained a pretty good jazz player but for some reason I was able to interpret tony's take on the art form more than say Joe Henderson or even Jack Dejohnette who taught at our sister university to Waterloo, Wilfred Laurier. Jacxk was always so unaccessible to me. Tony never was. I feel love the guy and we shared drinks over that that night and in a respectful manner, the Master sat with the /student and the timeless exchange that took place was so weird as to feel surreal and then we both laughed and he said gotta go second set and right after that he left quite promptly. I think he had gall stones even then as a few scotches made his side hurt he told me. Kept rubbing it right where the gall bladder. /I heard he had a heart attck on the table. Damn what a waste. EH?

      wow man, this is all very interesting and revealing, You have such a great life behind a drumkit I supose :) I would like to hear your playing. I'm a drummer in Brasil , and a fan of Tony Williams too, but no way I can call myself a jazz drummer, but I play for 25 years and that's what I do for a living. Drumming is my life, and I'm very honoured to hear such a life story. Thanks for share ! Tony's playing to me is like an orchestra mixed with forces of nature.There's no word to describe the feeling, and I can only imagine the impact of seeing and hearing it in loco. ...and meet the guy. amazing.

      +BRC I lost my leg 5 years ago and I still have severe intractable pain 24/7 and only a few things really cure the pain and it isn't the drugs like morphine. It is drumming as I bought the Roland TD15 last summer and the 25 last week. They are good kits even for jazz and bebop. Hey I am a bebop player and WE all consider ourselves to be a different kind of creature but it was Tony that inspired me to get back behind the kit and it was his playing especially with Lifetime that taught me to take my independence into new areas mainly rock. I saw Wynton Marsalis when I was 13 and they played this tune. I remember going right into the pavillion at Ontario Place and Tony blew me away. It took me 30 years to remember that and that is why I am here on this site today. God bless everybody out there in music land today. Charlie called it "Birdland". This was his favorite incarnation of a "cool" jazz band. Sure he loved so many others of his but this was his baby when he passed. I hope you are in heaven Tony. I got a lot of questions for you.

      There is a Herbie Hancock version which I saw on "BBC Jazz Piano Gold" that is pretty sweet too.

    Sister Cheryl and Elegy are the 2 pieces that I love. I found the sheet music for both of them and hopefully will be in a band to play them.
    I always wondered who is Sister Cheryl? I bet she is a great woman who helped everyone and inspired all who she came in contact with...

      Maybe, his style is physically too much for human's body. The style like Al Harewood, Roy Haynes or Chico Hamilton can save a lot more energy than him. I'm impressed by Viola Smith will turn 106 years olds in just a few days. People who were born between 1910's to 1920's live much longer life than people who were born 1940s or 1950s because they suffered a lot more in life than later generation. They eat healthy food, don't do any drugs and stay away from danger. In the end, older generation is better than younger generation because younger generation die before older generation (lol).

    James Williams is fine, but I still prefer Mulgrew Miller....

    • @Exileonbackroad
      @Exileonbackroad 4 роки тому

      Mulgrew Miller was special.

    • @benflint
      @benflint 3 роки тому

      James paved the way for Mulgrew. He moved to NYC first, Mulgrew moved in with him. James passed him gigs til he eventually overtook James' career.
