Tony Williams – Foreign Intrigue (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Before Miles Davis tapped him at seventeen, Tony Williams had already redefined what a drummer could be in a small group setting, and that restless harmonic and rhythmic intelligence never left him. *Foreign Intrigue* (1985) introduced the working band he'd build on through the decade, with Donald Harrison and Wallace Roney carrying the front line. It's a crucial document of Williams reconnecting with straight-ahead forms on his own compositional terms, not as nostalgia but as forward motion.
Drummer Tony Williams had a long, fruitful relationship with Blue Note Records starting in the 1960s when he appeared on numerous post bop classics (Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage, Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch, Andrew Hill Point of Departure) and made his first 2 albums as a leader: Life Time (1964) and Spring (1965). After Blue Note relaunched in 1984, Williams returned to the label eager to form a new acoustic band as a vehicle to perform his compositions.
