What is the deal with Tony Williams? I'm not trying to be smart... Help me understand.
Like a recent post about Steve Gadd, I just don't 'get' Tony Williams. I have a couple TW albums (Story of Neptune and Trio of Doom) and it just doesn't make sense to me. It's almost like listening to a foreign language. Maybe I just don't get fusion.
So what is it exactly about him? I know the 'blush-da' lick (I've used it a few times) pretty much came from him but I have to be missing something else that makes him such an inspiration for so many.
However, to answer the question, I would have to say Story of Neptune since I REALLY don't get the Trio record...it sounds like they are all playing a completely different song. Plus, Neptune has a Beatles track on it.

I don't know what format you've been trying to find it in...but amazon.ca has both vinyl and Cd. Amazing album! heres a link. http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=stan+getz+captain+marvelthis is a tough one.
i'd have to say that i prefer his late '60s and '70s albums more than the later stuff. obviously the miles period and the lifetime material, but also with wayne shorter ("juju" and "the soothsayer"), mccoy tyner ("counterpoint"), and eric dolphy ("out to lunch).
i've been trying to hunt down stan getz's "captain marvel" for ages now...still to no avail.
