Bio: Tony Williams' death in 1997 of a heart attack after routine gall bladder surgery was a major shock to the jazz world.
Williams, who was 18 when he appeared on Eric Dolphy's classic Out to Lunch album, stayed with Davis into 1969, leading his own occasional sessions and becoming a household name in the jazz world.
In addition to his interest in avant-garde jazz, Tony Williams was a fan of rock music, and when he left Miles he formed the fusion band Lifetime, a trio with Larry Young and John McLaughlin.

  Tony Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tony Williams (December 12, 1945 – February 23, 1997) was an American jazz drummer.
Williams was a vital element of the group, called by Davis in his autobiography "the center of the group's sound".
In mid 1976, Williams was a part of a reunion of sorts with his old Miles Davis band compatriots, pianist/keyboardist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter.

 Anthony A. Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Williams is the adopted son of Virginia and the late Lewis Williams, and is one of eight children.
Williams led the city into a fiscal recovery, which made him a popular figure; having been "drafted" by popular support, he was elected mayor in 1998, despite not having held any elected office since sitting on the New Haven, Connecticut Board of Aldermen when a student at Yale University.
Williams was instrumental in arranging a deal to move the financially ailing Montréal Expos, a Major League Baseball team, to Washington, D.C. Although he faced opposition from much of the D.C. City Council, Wiliams eventually prevailed—and in late December 2004, the Council approved by one vote a financing plan for a new stadium.

 Can Tony Williams Save D.C.? - September 14, 1998
After all, when Williams (who was raised in Los Angeles) first came to the D.C. area in 1993 to become chief financial officer for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he and his wife actually settled in the Virginia suburbs--a choice that now generates bad-natured ribbing from opponents.
Williams' main primary opponents are three longtime council members forced to answer at every stop for the various crises the city suffered.
If he wins, Williams' biggest challenge will be to convince Washingtonians that he is mayor for all of them; in some parts of the city, his get-tough policies and conservative mien have given the impression that he's the white candidate.
