This band was about stretching the form. Also, Hancock, Shorter and Williams, were aware of Ornette Coleman, Sam Rivers, and Cecil Taylor and consciously brought in those avant garde ideas, with Miles' encouragement, into the band. This is what lead to the "Bitches Brew" era.

Check out Ron Carter's work with Eric Dolphy. Especially the records called "Out There" and "Out to Lunch" Dolphy is now underrated. He went toe to toe with Coltrane on the "Live at the Village Vanguard" record. Also, Tony Williams' playing on "Out to Lunch" is amazing. Enjoy!

I'm sorry you took such offense. I was just LETTING THE FACTS OUT. Actually when you transcribe any of Anthony's solos you will see there might be about one or two that keep the form. Not to say that they are without structure, they just do not maintain the structure of the tune that is know as it's form! check out lifetime maybe not the rock group of Tony's, his other life time shyt it's real sick! peace & Love

Just cause he makes you lose the form doesn't mean he loses the form.

Actually he was about to turn 22. But still impressive.
