🤘😎🥁🔥👍

He was a very elegant Drummer when He played progressive Bebop with people Like Jackie MC Lean Charles Lloyd, Herbie Hancock way before he started using these Insensitive black dot drumheads

Neil Peart is good, but overrated because of the 'show tricks', which are not musical. Prefer musicality over 'show'

Saw Tony with VSOP in 70s, + more; he was the dude!

wow he tells a story when playing

That brush playing at 12:36 is ridiculously groovy

One of the earliest attributions of “Let’s Go” I can remember lol

Just one word...Animal😮

くだらな過ぎてオモロいww

And of course, the black dots created such an amazing sound

Simply unbelievable.. Those Gretsch sing.

Super master!!!

AMAZING 🔥🔥

He died much too young and is sorely missed. A sheer genius

Masterful!!!

Orgasmic

Check out the angle on his Tom's. He can't miss.

I see where Steve smith got some of his style from .i can also see Tony playing some of buddy Rich’s style with left hand and using the bass drum in place of his right hand

bravo

I usually don’t like drum solos. But Tony is on another planet, the music flows directly from him. Only one Tony Williams in a century , as Miles told.

Did they really tell him to play the blues ?! That was real funny

is that Buddy Rich at intro??

I’ve always admired the old school drummers , but Buddy Rich, is in a class of his own. Gene Krupa, was the master showman…

I counted a few potential mistakes he made but it still sounded good in the performance. This really shows the humanity of improvisational drumming. This is just so real.

One of the most profound artists ever. When I listen to "Emergency!" it still sounds modern, otherwordly... NEW, as if I were a stowaway on a spaceship named "Lifetime" That was exploring uncharted areas of the universe in search of Planet X

I have a lot of respect - admiration - for a lot of drummers, but, simply,TW was, and will always be - the best Jazz drummer the world will ever hear! Out to Lunch; Nefertiti; Believe it! And his comments were great! Playing for the people - this man was not an egotist! And in the end he played a bit of ride cymbal - absolutely glorious!

Big influence on Tony willams

teacher of t. Williams......

Vinnie Colaiuta at 27:46!

Beautiful drumming!!

I was at this clinic. Thanks for posting. I saw him play live many times. Each time was amazing. At 23 he was playing with Miles Davis. Check out his first solo album….Life Time. My favorite albums are Believe It ,Trio of Doom and Young at Heart.

Amazing drummer RIP

I saw him live twice times with this yellow gretsch drums ... great musican ! ⭐⭐⭐👏

Great drummer! But I don't like the Remo Dot on the snare

Genial y super nice

The joy of flying deserves A GRAMMY ....TO THIS VERY DAY!

I hear no definition out of the ride. Just a roar. Great drummer.

My new favorite ❤

drumジョナサンブレーク

Timing is only a small part of drumming. Peace

Guy did all that rudiments and it sounded just like a single stroke . Crazy. Rip..

WOW!!!!!

As a rock drummer I’m coming to jazz later in life. During the pandemic exclusively listened to WKCR and sought out records. After Ahmad Jamal’s passing WFMU, another excellent source (JA in the AM show) played “Poinciana” and it stopped me dead in my tracks. It was the kind of soulful N‘awlins groove and touch I’ve always loved, and immediately inquired. Which led me to you this morning. I loved your introductory video explaining the circumstances and life lessons of your meeting with Fournier. So much moving wisdom, bittersweet, loving and deep. Thanks for carrying on his spirit. It’s our duty, the sasha and zamani.

Lost my interest after 20 secs.

Tony bailed when that camera man encroached on his space during his solo... Tony didn't like that and I can't blame him

I can see what Alan passed on to Tony . Its clear as day.

Very musical, and has great control. great drumming. I whish I had known about him sooner

The amount of anticipation I had waiting for him to add the next tom each time cured my ADHD.

reinforced dot heads sound bad, not sure reason for this choice of drums and heads

Min Marker5:14'ish - though I couldnt hear the question, and perhaps I am projecting based on what Tony's answer was. I love how he stated, "one you make a record, its commercial." I always wonder why people criticize musicians for being commercial. Musicians gotta eat too...
