DIG IT HERE

"Drummer Tony Williams played all over the kit, and though his tricky, unorthodox time-keeping might sometimes give the impression of wild unpredictability, he always managed to keep a tight rein over the momentum of any session in which he participated. His work on SPRING is only surpassed by his equally mesmerizing playing on Eric Dolphy's seminal OUT TO LUNCH, to which SPRING is often compared."

Hey Erik,

Great site! And thanks for linking to the BN Spotify App as well as BlueNote.com.

Would you mind linking each album to the corresponding page on BN.com e.g. http://www.bluenote.com/artists/anthony-williams-tony-williams/spring-rudy-van-gelder-edition

The Story

At the end of the 1950s, and in the early 1960s, Blue Note Records headquarters were located @ 47 West 63rd St., New York 23. Personally, I feel this was the "Golden Age" of Blue Note, and my hands down all time favorite Jazz records emerged from this renaissance period. This era of Aflred Lion's visionary genius yielded some of Rudy Van Gelder's greatest recordings, Reid Miles' most groundbreaking design, and without a doubt Francis Wolff's finest imagery. At this certain pinnacle, it all came out of 47. And so, I pay homage..
