One of the "new cats" ''Miles Davis'' band, ''Tony Williams'' drums are heard on a number of sessions from the ''Blue Note'' 60's clan. Hired very young by ''Jackie McLean'', his interests eventually shifted toward rock and fusion in the 70's, before being re-called for duty for the ''V.S.O.P.'' records. Mr ''Williams'' was only 18 when he took part in ''Eric Dolphy's'' sessions. His death at 50 years old left a void in the jazz community.
