Bassist Buster Williams decided after 30 years as a side man to the greats to step up and present his own music and his own musical ideas. In 1990 he formed Something More and has traveled the world and the United States numerous times including the first international jazz festival in Moscow. The Virginia Arts Festival hosted the latest version of Something More in the Perry Pavilion in downtown Norfolk. Appearing with Williams was composer, educator, and multi award winning pianist George Colligan, another composer and educator and in demand alto saxophonist Mark Gross and "one of the founding fathers of jazz fusion," three time Grammy award winner and, at the age of 19, the drummer on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Lenny White. After close to a 90 minute set, ending with Williams singing "We'll Meet Again," the quartet engaged in Q&A with the audience. Here are a series of photos from that evening.
