Buster Williams and "Something More" Are Something Else !

It would be hard to imagine something more than what Buster Williams' all-star quartet brings to the table.

Buster Williams and "Something More" Are Something Else !

It would be hard to imagine something more than what Buster Williams' all-star quartet brings to the table. Picture the Modern Jazz Quartet with a stretched out post-bop passion - this would only begin to convey the level of artistry and excitement of Williams' crew. While we often see a master bandleader in the company of young lions, we seldom get the chance to see a master in collaboration with other musicians of this caliber. Each member of "Something More" has a well-established and well-earned, renowned reputation.

Buster Williams is quite simply a giant ! We will seldom (if ever) have the opportunity to enjoy a more elegant (yet grounded) melodic bassist.

Eric Reed is a profoundly joyful pianist who enriches the mix of every band he joins.

Drummer Cindy Blackman proves just how fiercely a woman can swing ! And she's been spreading the word for years.

Bennie Maupin is an engrossing multi-reed player with an all-encompassing range of style and genre at his command.
