Tony Williams began playing professionally at the young age of 13, but he gained international attention when he joined the Miles Davis Quintet at age 17. My guest, Dave Goodman, wrote his 100,000 word doctoral thesis on Tony and we have condensed all that great information into an hour long episode that covers Tony's early life, lessons with Alan Dawson, rise to fame, evolution of his equipment, and everything you would want to know about the great Tony Williams. Dave Goodman is located in Sydney Australia and is a professional drummer, educator and clinician. You can find Dave at his home on the web - www.davegoodman.com.au You can download Daves full doctoral thesis here: https://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/7797 Enjoy this episode!
