Tony Williams Lifetime, The - Emergency! [2xLP - Verve By Request]

Release Date: 12/6/2024

In what many consider to be the birth of jazz fusion, Emergency!, led by Tony Williams (drums) with bandmates John McLaughlin (guitar) and Larry Young (organ), is a true adventure in the beginning of the jazz-rock blend that would take shape in late 1960's and beyond. From the opening title track, the direction is decisive and commands attention as Williams leads his crew through a mixture of swing, rock and free jazz that cements it's place as one of the most influential albums of the time. The Verve By Request Series 2 LP set features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
