Whether supplying eminently tasteful but strong-as-steel backing for singers like Nancy Wilson and Sarah Vaughan, or venturing into uncharted new territory as a member of Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking Mwandishi band, Williams’ playing has always evidenced that fearless willingness to leap unhesitatingly into the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAUDACITY marks another chapter in that ongoing history. The album finds Williams stepping into the studio as a leader for the first time since 2004’s GRIOT LIBERTE, leading his long-running all-star quartet Something More with saxophonist Steve Wilson, pianist George Colligan and drummer Lenny White. Conceived as the legendary bassist celebrated the milestone of his 75th birthday, AUDACITY reveals an artist turning a new corner while acknowledging the experience of three-quarters of a century behind him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTurning 75 compelled Williams to re-enter the recording studio after a self-imposed, decade-long hiatus but he was also driven by the continuing evolution of his long-running band. It had developed a fiery and wide-ranging sound that Williams felt needed to be captured. AUDACITY accomplished that goal for the bass great, finding him and his quartet on an important new trajectory.\u003cbr\u003e\ncredits\u003cbr\u003e\nreleased June 15, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBUSTER WILLIAMS \u0026amp; SOMETHING MORE\u003cbr\u003e\nSteve Wilson – saxophone\u003cbr\u003e\nGeorge Colligan – piano\u003cbr\u003e\nBuster Williams – bass\u003cbr\u003e\nLenny White – drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRecorded Live on December 4, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nat Sear Sound Studio C, New York City\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduced by Paul Stache\u003cbr\u003e\nAssociate Producer: Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded, Mixed and Mastered by Christopher Allen\u003cbr\u003e\nStudio Assistant: Owen Mulholland\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotography by Jimmy and Dena Katz\u003cbr\u003e\nBuster Williams studio photo by Gulnara Khamatova\u003cbr\u003e\nSteve Wilson photo by John Abbott\u003cbr\u003e\nGeorge Colligan photo by Beth Olsen\u003cbr\u003e\nLenny White photo by Henry Adebonojo\u003cbr\u003e\nLiner Notes by George Colligan\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign by Damon Smith and Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eExecutive Producers: Frank Christopher \u0026amp; Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smoke Sessions Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56382104568190,"sku":"SSR-1803-CD","price":44.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/SSR-1803-CD.jpg?v=1760095177","url":"https:\/\/8merch.shop\/products\/buster-williams-audacity-cd","provider":"8Merch Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
