Aficionados:
Since I was not familiar with Buster Williams, I checked him out on Amazon. Only one entry. "Something More". Not the clip Alex submitted. The one CD listed had two reviews. This one caught my eye.
"Much of this album is sheer pain. Wayne Shorter has apparently gone into the never-never land of pop rock and spends much of his time screeching. The last cut is at least bearable. It makes one weep to see what the current culture has done to jazz giants of the past. The Japanese trumpet player is copying early Miles. The others are all too often making noise.
As an antidote, check out Buster Williams, Herbie Hancock, and Al Foster at Montreaux on YouTube. They could still play beautifully and powerfully in 1987." -- Amazon Reviewer
See, I am not alone. Notice the last word of the first paragraph. Many people agree with this atitude.
Cheers
