One of jazz's most valuable sidemen, Buster Williams has been
able to flourish through many periods of changing fashions in
jazz. Best known since the 1980s for his solid, dark tone and
highly refined technique on the acoustic bass, the jazz-rock
generation knew him as the mobile anchor of Herbie Hancock's
exploratory "Mwandishi" Sextet from 1969 to 1973, doubling on
acoustic and electric basses sometimes attached to electronic
effects devices.
Williams learned both the double bass and the drums from his
father, but having been enormously impressed by Oscar
Pettiford's recordings, he ultimately decided to concentrate on
the bass. After studying theory and composition at
Philadelphia's Combs College of Music in 1959, Williams joined
Jimmy Heath's unit the following year and played with Gene
Ammons and Sonny Stitt in 1960 and 1961, as well as behind
singers Dakota Staton (1961-62), Betty Carter (1962-63), Sarah
Vaughan (1963) and Nancy Wilson (1964-68). The gig with Wilson
prompted a move to Los Angeles, where the Jazz Crusaders used
him on concert dates and recordings from 1967 to 1969, and he
also played briefly with Miles Davis in 1967 and the Bobby
Hutcherson/Harold Land quintet. Moving to New York in 1969,
Williams joined Hancock's sextet, appearing on all of his
Warner Bros. albums, as well as The Prisoner (Blue Note),
Sextant (Columbia) and with trumpeter Eddie Henderson's spinoff
group on Capricorn and Blue Note. Over a five-year period
(1976-1981), Williams led numerous recording sessions for Muse,
Denon and Buddah while continuing to freelance before, during
and after that span. In the 1980s, he was a member of both the
Timeless All-Stars and Sphere, writing a number of compositions
for the latter. Among the musicians for whom he has played from
the 1980s onward are Kenny Barron, Frank Morgan, Stanley
Cowell, Steve Turre, Emily Remler and Larry Coryell.
