Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society Presents Legendary Bassist Buster Williams’ Something More Quartet
July 17th, 2022 @ 4:30pm - 7:00pm
$35 – $45
Legendary bassist Buster Williams leads his Something More quartet.
The Guardian calls Williams one of the great acoustic bassists, and JazzTimes states Williams resume ranks with that of any bassist in the modern era.
It’s a resume that includes working with Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt when he was 17; backing singing legends Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughn and Nancy Wilson in the 60s; anchoring Herbie Hancock s Mwandishi sextet into the 70s; and co-founding the Timeless All-Stars and Sphere after that.
As important as he is as a bassist with his virtuosic technique and an unmistakable sound, he is equally known for his compositions and bands, which The New Yorker hails as modern, mainstream at its best.
Buster Williams – Bass; Steve Wilson – Sax; George Colligan – Piano; Lenny White – Drums
