Spring captures drummer and composer Anthony Williams at a creative peak, recording in 1965 with an all-star quintet featuring Wayne Shorter, Sam Rivers, Herbie Hancock, and Gary Peacock. As his second album as a bandleader for Blue Note, Williams presents five original compositions that explore imaginative and open realms of modern jazz, blurring the lines between post-bop, modal, and free jazz with remarkable vitality.

This 2023 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series release offers listeners an opportunity to hear a landmark session where each track thrives on interplay and adventurous improvisation. Fully mastered from the original analog tapes, Spring stands as a vivid and engaging document of Anthony Williams' innovative vision and the spontaneity of jazz’s finest players in full flight.
