Bassist Buster Williams is featured on the recently released DVD Sarah Vaughan: Live in '58 & '64, released by Naxos of America as part of their Jazz Icons series.
Praised by Jazztimes for “the beauty of his tone and sound, along with the consistent quality of his writing and recordings," the bassist, bandleader, and composer Buster Williams has performed, recorded, and collaborated with jazz giants such as Art Blakey, Betty Carter, Chick Corea, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, and Count Basie. Mr. Williams earned a Grammy in 1979, the Min-On Art Award, and the SGI Glory Award. He is also the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, as well as a New York Foundations for the Arts Fellowship Grant. Due to his extensive work with Sarah Vaughan, Buster is a featured figure on this DVD.
Jazz Icons is an on-going DVD series featuring full-length concerts and in-studio performances by the greatest legends of jazz, filmed all over the world from the 1950s through the 1970s. Beautifully transferred from the original masters, each of these DVDs features rare performances that have never been officially released on home video, and in many cases, were never broadcast. Each DVD is produced with the full support and cooperation of the artist or their estates.
