      @@ThomasistheTwin True, but he was a pretty heavy hitter on the Jazz scene.. as he brought big band level loudness to quintet situations, and then things got electrified so that also plays a part. But yes his dynamics are excellent and the way he feels and plays with time is just.. well it's Tony Williams..

      "him"?

      Getz (about whom Coltrane said "We'd all play like Stan Getz -- if only we could") -- long gone, whose magnificent playing will live forever
      and
      Chick - who we lost just two years ago ('21), brought such a wonderful spirit and joy to his playing
      but Tony's solo, as others have noted here, is monstrous and musical, blending both of those qualities like few before or since

    To me, there was no one better than Tony, no one had more power or amazing unbridled exhibitions of rhythmic grace and explosive beats and attacks like Mr. Williams did. From the age of 17, on records like "Spring" to the work with Miles, Herbie, Ron and Wayne to the explosive work with his Lifetime, both the John McLaughin and Allan Holdsworth versions, to playing with John McLaughin again and Jaco Pastorius in the Trio of Doom and then with Herbie and Jaco on the great tune "Good Question" or Tony playing on an obscure Ray Manzarek record from 1974 called "The Golden Scarab," I can go on and on, it's all amazing, and most of it can be heard right here on UA-cam.

    What is it about Tony? All we have to do is just watch 20 seconds of footage like this and the next thing we know we are going down a wormhole of doing nothing but listening and watching Tony Williams stuff. He was just one of a kind. Plus the Nostalgia of 1972 and everything about it. Tony is wearing some sweet clothes and those shoes! I love the choice of microphones and their placements. This was the beginning of an era when they started to close mic the drum kit and even though it was in the embryo phase doesn't it sound better than today?
