I saw Buster Williams once in 1979 as „second bass” in the Ron Carter Quartet (with Kenny Barron and Ben Riley). I must admit I like Ron Carter much more on the regular bass than on Picollo Bass that he played.  Buster Williams had one solo but it sounded more interesting to me and he got very much applause for that.  I love him on records, to bad I saw him live only one time.

That documentary was fantastic. Highly recommended. Was listening to Pinnacle on the radio today. 

I remember a photo of Kenny Clarke sitting on a drum case behind his kit, probably because he forgot to bring a seat, but that was not an album cover. 

What's up there? There seems to have been two Costas, thoughtful pop and schlocky pop.
