Buster Williams - Pinnacle

 

Buster Williams’ ‘Pinnacle’ (1975) is a masterful blend of spiritual jazz, post-bop, and early fusion, showcasing the bassist’s vision as a composer and bandleader.
 Recorded at Blue Rock Studios with a stellar lineup - including Woody Shaw, Sonny Fortune, Onaje Allan Gumbs, and Billy Hart - the album features richly textured arrangements, deep grooves, and expressive solos.
 From the cosmic funk of ‘The Hump’ to the lyrical beauty of ‘Tayamisha’, ‘Pinnacle’ reflects the creative momentum of Williams' post-Mwandishi years.
 It’s a landmark session that bridges tradition and exploration, newly remastered for audiophiles with restored analog warmth and dynamic depth.
 Remastered & Cut AAA directly from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab.
 Pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal Media and housed in Stoughton Old Style® Tip-On Jackets. 
 Including an insert with newly written liner notes by
Mike Flynn and Barney Fields.
