An interesting recording where all the tunes were originally by Serge Charloff.

I was pleased to see that Pinnacle is being reissued in April as part of Record Store Day. 😃

Has there ever been a jazz "Buster" who has ever been less than a total badass?

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.
