From the SFJazz Center website:
Curated by powerhouse drummer Cindy Blackman, this night honors the work of master drummer Tony Williams, a hugely influential artist who provided the polyrhythmic fire powering Miles Davis� second great quintet in the mid 1960s. His band Lifetime helped pioneer the fusion movement, and in 1990 the longtime Bay Area resident premiered an SFJAZZ-commissioned work that featured Herbie Hancock and the Kronos Quartet.
Concert includes performances by Zakir Hussain, Joshua Redman, Terence Blanchard, Mary Stallings, Joe Lovano, Bill Frisell, Stefon Harris, Cindy Blackman Santana, Eric Harland, John Santos, Kronos Quartet, SFJAZZ Collective.

From the France Musique website:
Un all-star de r�ve pour entourer Cindy Blackman Santana dans son hommage au batteur Tony Williams (1945-1997). Les grands moments du concert d'hier soir au SFJazz Center.
Le th�me de cette 5�me saison du SFJazz Center est �traditions in transition". Il s'agit chaque soir, de r�actualiser une grande figure du patrimoine du jazz, avec le souci d'�viter la nostalgie et en l'inscrivant dans le temps pr�sent. Le choix s'est port� sur des jazzmen qui ont une histoire avec San Francisco, soit parce qu'ils y sont n�s, soit parce qu'ils y ont v�cu et ont marqu� la sc�ne du jazz locale.
Tony Williams, que Miles Davis engagea comme batteur � 17 ans, y a pass� les derni�res ann�es de sa vie, enseignant dans la Bay Area. Entre temps, son groupe Lifetime avait jet� les bases du jazz fusion. Au d�but des ann�es 1990, l'association SFJazz, qui n'avait pas encore b�ti son Center, lui avait pass� une commande qui fut cr��e avec Herbie Hancock et le Kronos Quartet.
