7.I Didn’t Know What Time It Was
Deluxe reissue of the classic 1989 Buster Williams album: a lucid and eloquent exposition of his musical philosophy featuring jazz greats Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Buster Williams is a man with a strong sense of purpose and a very clear sense of his musical direction. He is also a musician of prodigious gifts – which is implicit in the fact that his years of professional bass playing have included work with Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Chet Baker, Woody Shaw and McCoy Tyner. He is unquestionably one of the giants of the double bass, and his status is a product not only of his natural aptitude, but also of his natural attitude – because Buster Williams is a man who believes in setting himself the highest creative goals.
Williams composed five of the seven pieces and wrote all the arrangements. To bring the music to life he had the services of some most distinguished associates. It would be redundant to recite the credentials of Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Al Foster. This is a most refreshing and exhilarating album to which Buster Williams has brought a high level of creativity and total integrity.
“Nobody could ask for more,” Buster says, “than to have his music played by the guys on this date. They know exactly what I want them to do – and what I want them to do, is just exactly what they do anyway.”
