I´ll never forget how impressed I was by his playing on the first Blakey LP I had "In This Korner". And then seeing him perform with Blakey with that band with Bobby Watson and Valery Ponomarev... The last time I saw James Williams was when he played piano in a very strong Dizzy Gillespie Big Band organized for his 70th Birthday Tour in 1987. Quote

Yes this Art Blakey group was great. We had a concert in our private Jazz Club (Koblenz, Germany) in 1979. Quote

Now, whenever I see one of his records, it's one of the first things I think of. Quote

I´ll never forget how impressed I was by his playing on the first Blakey LP I had "In This Korner". And then seeing him perform with Blakey with that band with Bobby Watson and Valery Ponomarev... Williams' music always has a soulfulness and warmth, doesn't it? Even when he's playing uptempo. I think that's one of the reasons he worked so well with Blakey. TOTALLY agree with you re: In This Korner. Straight Ahead, Blakey's 2nd live record from the Keystone -- again with James Williams -- is excellent too. Quote
Gheorghe Posted March 20, 2021 Report Posted March 20, 2021 I love it. That rubato on the beginning of "Thespian" is wonderful. Such a great album. Quote

JSngry Posted March 20, 2021 Report Posted March 20, 2021 Wow, that would have been a totally different take on the music than the MPS/JEB notes, no doubt... Quote

In a quick look at the Prestige Discography, I counted 16 Prestige issues of MPS material. How else would Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald end up on Prestige? Quote
