Spring

by Anthony Williams

Spring cover art

An album from a revolutionary drummer that radically decenters the drum kit. Tony Williams uses his instrument for color and shading, not timekeeping, creating sparse, mysterious, and suspenseful soundscapes. The album is a pivotal work that redefines the role of the rhythm section in jazz, moving from accompaniment to collective, avant-garde sound design.
