 Emergency by Tony Williams CD
During Tony Williams' stint with Miles Davis, he displayed an unparalleled mastery of time and texture, suggesting at once the meter-less pulsations of Milford Graves and Sonny Murray, and the polyrhythmic swing of Max Roach, Art Blakey and Philly Joe Jones.
The power of EMERGENCY is in the playing; because for his Lifetime, Williams recruited the most innovative of all Philly organ players, the Coltraneish virtuoso Larry Young, and an exciting young veteran of the British jazz and blues scene--and Jimmy Page's mentor--John McLaughlin.
even before miles davis came up with 'in a silent way' and 'bitches brew', tony williams teamed up with guitar wizard john mclaughlin and the coltrane of the organ larry young to record this masterpiece of a jazz record.

 The Tony Williams Lifetime's Emergency!
In a chapter on guitarist John McLaughlin, Mandel mentioned a band that Tony Williams had put together that was a huge influence on Bitches Brew, so I had to check it out.
But the glue of the record wasn't just Williams, it was the explosive combination of the Lifetime band with McLaughlin and organist Larry Young.
Williams himself, at the age of twenty-four, was already a veteran of groups with Sam Rivers, Eric Dolphy, Jackie McLean, and of course Davis' second great quintet.

 Tony Williams: Lifetime The Anthology
Over the course of four seminal but commercially unsuccessful albums from 1969-73, Tony Williams stretched the boundaries of jazz by incorporating a rock mentality into free form, often experimental, jazz-rock (it's much more jazz than rock) with his propulsive rhythms and aggressive playing.
Since all of these cuts are not currently available on any other disc, this is an essential album for anyone remotely influenced by Hendrix or Miles and a must for jazz lovers who missed out on Tony Williams the first time around.
Oddly released just weeks before his untimely death at 51, this double disc set filled with a data-busting two and 1/2 hours of music, is a moving testament to one of the most adventurous, talented and downright mind blowing drummers in jazz.

Marrying this to William's inventive powerhouse drumming, Tony Newton's funky slithering bass and Alan Pasqua's glassy keyboards, this version of the Tony Williams Lifetime was a force to be reckoned with.
Tony Williams, much like his mentor Miles Davis had a knack for picking great talent for his bands, especialy young upstart British guitar virtuosos.
Already having stints with Tempest and Soft Machine under his belt, Holdsworth's style was jumping to the next level already, and Tony Williams did nothing to stand in the way, in fact, Allan was heavily encouraged and cheered on in his explorations by his bandmates here.

Hillage and Howlett were replaced by Allan Holdsworth (just coming off a stint in Tony Williams' New Lifetime) and ex- Magma bassist Francois Moze.
The keyboard player sounds influenced by Tony Banks and Rick Wakeman perhaps in about equal measure, but is far more tasteful and restrained than the latter.
He does some superb Steve Howe-ish spaced-out delay slide guitar of the kind you heard in Gates of Delirium, and his acoustic playing seems to me to have more than a whiff of Steve Hackett in it (of course Lifeson was no slouch there as well).

While Alan Pasqua is well known by fusion heads as the keyboardist in the New Tony Williams Lifetime and composer of that band's anthemic "Proto-Cosmos" (which former Lifetime guitarist Allan Holdsworth still uses as an encore), this intimate piano trio offering showcases an entirely different side of his musicality.
Pianist Alan Pasqua, has recorded with Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Paul Motian, Dave Holland, Michael and Randy Brecker, Alan Holdsworth, Gary Burton, John Patitucci, Sheila Jordan, and many others.
Pianist Alan Pasqua's My New Old Friend clearly refers to his bandmates: drummer Peter Erskine, with whom Pasqua has worked in a trio for the past few years, but whose association goes back much further; and bassist Darek Oles, who has begun playing with Pasqua more recently.

 Heroes - John McLaughlin
He accepted the invitation, and the result was the Tony Williams Lifetime, the first band in a new movement known as "jazz-fusion" - loosely defined as combining jazz concepts and improvisations with rock rhythms and dynamics.
His breakthrough year was 1969, when he recorded his first solo album, 'Extrapolation.' One of the record's biggest fans was American jazz drummer Tony Williams, who invited McLaughlin to play in his new band.

This never before released concert, recorded May 25th, 1971 and licensed from Radio Bremen, captures the band at an early peak and with an interesting lineup: Carr, Karl Jenkins-piano and oboe, Brian Smith-tenor and soprano sax, flute and percussion, Ray Russell-guitar, Roy Babbington-bass and John Marshall-drums.

The stepping stone between McLaughlin's work with Tony Williams's Lifetime and his own group, the Mahavishnu Orchestra was the album My Goals Beyond (Rykodisc RCD 101051), recorded in March 1971, around the time Lifetime were breaking up.
McLaughlin had earmarked Goodman and Cobham as possible sidemen for a new electric ensemble he proposed forming and the date provided the opportunity to put his ideas to them and invite them both to join him.
On the recommendation of bassist Miroslav Vitous, McLaughlin approached Sarah Vaughan's pianist Jan Hammer and turned to fellow expatriate Rick Laird, just off the road after two years playing bass with the Buddy Rich Big Band.
