Tony Williams - Out There Avant Garde Jazz Podcast

This week's episode of Out There is a little bit of a continuation of the last Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting, focusing on drummer Tony Williams.  Williams started drumming professionally at age 13, and by 19 was a member of Miles Davis' quintet.  His flowing, angular style was something of an avant garde middle ground between conventional bebop drumming and the all-out free style of drummers like Sunny Murray and Milford Graves.  Features music from his solo albums, his albums with Miles Davis, Grachan Moncur III, and Andrew Hill.  If you have any questions or comments, call the WNPM/Out There voicemail box at (424) 704-1666 or email wnpmpod@gmail.com
