About
Tony Williams's drums solo is the closing of 3 solos on this recording, following Herbie Hancock's piano. Spanning five choruses of the 20-Bar form at a bright 276 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:15. Tony Williams closes the improvisation section with five explosive drum choruses that redefined what jazz drumming could sound like, his polyrhythmic inventiveness and sheer power marking him as one of the most important percussionists in the music's history, despite being only eighteen years old at the time of this recording. Tony Williams was 18 to 19 years old at the time of this 1964 recording.
