I saw them in 1992.
They were opening (with Soundgarden) for G&R in Paris.
That cover painting is familiar. Wasn’t it - or very similar - used on a jazz album (recently?)
Another tribute album which does justice to a great artist. Pearl Jam doing Crazy Mary is a particular favourite which is great as I don’t see much in Pearl Jam normally. Don’t think I’ve seen Williams on here? A shame ‘cos she’s terrific. Uniti Core.
The artwork is “time” by Mati Klarwein.
He did an earlier Buddy Miles cover and some for another Miles.
One you’d buy just for the cover.

Tony Williams last album.
It’s available from Bandcamp.
Ordered!
Thx Andy!
Pretty much all those Bill Laswell associated albums on Bandcamp are essential purchases.
