Jazz Icons: Buster Williams 

Jazz Icons features renowned bassist, composer, and bandleader Buster Williams — whose profound influence has shaped the genre for more than six decades — in his first Trinity performance. Born in Camden, New Jersey, Williams began his career in the early ’60s, quickly rising to prominence with his impeccable technique, deep tone, harmonic innovation, and lyrical sensitivity. He has performed and recorded with a long list of jazz greats including Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Nancy Wilson, Art Blakey, Chick Corea, and Mary Lou Williams. A cornerstone of Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking Mwandishi band and a first-call bassist for both traditional and avant-garde giants, he bridges eras with elegance and power. His ensemble Something More showcases his visionary spirit and brilliance as a composer and bandleader. 

Presented in collaboration with JAZZ HOUSE KiDS
