Career Overview
About Buster Williams
Williams' official biography traces his path from early work with Jimmy Heath, Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan, and Nancy Wilson into New York groups led by Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, and Mary Lou Williams. His bass playing became central to both touring ensembles and extensive studio work.[1]
The cooperative quartet Sphere and Hancock's Mwandishi-era sextet sit beside Williams' own Something More ensemble. His leader discography extends from earlier albums such as Pinnacle and Crystal Reflections through Audacity and Unalome.[1][2][3]
