Důvodem, proč jsem si vybral toto téma, je zvědavost a zájem, detailně prozkoumat jednoho z nejvlivnějších bubeníků všech dob. Pro mě, jako studenta jazzové katedry (bicí nástroje), mi toto téma poskytuje obohacení a vliv jak v „jazzovém světě“, tak i v jiných hudebních žánrech, které Tony hrál a také ovlivnil. Zejména pochopení problematiky Tonyho doprovodů, sól, „compingu“, interakce se sólisty a různých inovativních rytmů. Nutno dodat, že tehdy pouhý sedmnáctiletý Tony Williams nahrál toto své první a ikonické album v kapele Miles Davis Quintet ( The Second Great Quintet). V úvodu popisuji život Tonyho Williamse a jeho vlivy, které ho formovaly po jeho hudební stránce. Následně pak poukazuji na jeho působení v mnoha dalších kapelách jako „sideman“, ale později také v jeho vlastních projektech. Dále pokračuji kapitolou dříve zmíněného alba “Seven Steps To Heaven“ a to ve formě charakteristiky alba s informativními prvky. V následujících kapitolách popisuji Tonyho styl hry. Věnuji se jeho způsobu doprovodu. Inovátorstvím ve hraní ride činelu, hi-hat, a používání metrické modulace. Využití jeho dynamiky a napětí. Dále se věnuji pak transkripcím- zvláště pak sólu v kompozici “Seven Steps To Heaven“. Cílem mé práce je, již dlouhodobé přání, se více přiblížit a pochopit Tonyho styl hry na bicí. Rád bych také seznámil veřejnost, ale i budoucí generaci bubeníků s tak zásadní osobností. 7 1 Stav bádání Publikaci v českém jazyce na téma Tony Williams jsem objevil pouze jednu, a to od autora Romana Mlynáře „Analysis of Tony Williams“ Musical Interpretation in the Music of Herbie Hancock. Mlynář se tedy zabýval Williamsem ve své práci, ovšem nikoliv konkrétním albem “Seven Steps To Heaven“, ale jeho spolupráci s Herbiem Hancockem. Protože jsem v českém jazyce nedohledal žádné zdroje, z kterých bych mohl čerpat, použil jsem zdroje ze zahraničí: zvukové platformy a nahrávky (Apple Music, Youtube), webové zdroje a literaturu (Discogs, DRUMMERWORLD, Modern Drummer, Downbeat magazine). 8 2 Životopis obr.1 Tony Williams1 Anthony Tillmon Williams byl americký jazzový bubeník a skladatel, narozen 12. prosince 1945 v Chicagu, Illinois. Byl smíšením- afrického, portugalského a čínského původu. Tony svoje dětství prožil v Bostonu, Massachusetts, kam se jeho rodina přestěhovala v roce 1948. Jeho otec, Tillmon Williams, u Tonyho vzbuzoval zájem o jazzovou hudbu jednak tím, že byl saxofonista, ale také svou rozsáhlou sbírkou jazzové muziky, zejména té, která definovala dobu 50-tých let (be-bop, hardbop) a muzikantů jako byli Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey2 a spousta dalších. Ale i jeho matka měla velký vliv na Tonyho hudební vkus a cítění, protože ta rozvíjela mladého Williamse ve vážné hudbě, kde se seznámil s takovými osobnostmi, jako byli Petr Iljič Čajkovskij nebo Richard Wagner. Po několika letech navštěvování různých jazzových koncertů a poslechu hudby se Tony v pouhých osmi letech poprvé připojil k otcově kapele na bicí soupravu a před publikem. Později dostal svou vlastní bicí soupravu na kterou cvičil až několik hodin denně. Po třech letech samostudia si Williamse vzal pod svá křídla bubeník Alan Dawson (člen Dave Brubeck Quartet a učitel na Berklee School of Music). V patnácti se už Tony začal pohybovat po bostonské hudební scéně a navštěvuje také tamní jam sessiony, kde hrál s Artem Blakeym nebo třeba Maxem Roachem. V letech 1959-1960 často hrával se saxofonistou Samem Riversem. V prosinci roku 1962 odešel ze střední školy a 1tonywilliams550perssqw.jpg (550×378) (drummerworld.com) 9 přestěhoval se do New Yorku, kde začal studovat na Manhattan School of Music u Monicy Jakuch hudební teorii a harmonii vážné hudby. V této době poslouchal hudbu Ornetta Colemana, Cecila Taylora a Erica Dolphyho. Ovšem stále poslouchal i klasickou hudbu a skladatele jako byli Bély Bartók, Karhlheinz Stockhausen a Igor Stravinskij. Začátkem roku 1963 začal spolupracovat se saxofonistou Jackie Mcleanem. Během několika měsíců se dostal do kapely Milese Davise, když mu bylo pouhých 17 let, a začal zde projevovat svůj obrovský talent. Zejména pak svoji schopnost hrát volně přes takty a pracovat s polyrytmy, čehož si ovšem všimli a nechali se inspirovat jeho spoluhráči zvláště Herbie Hancock a Ron Carter, kteří se stali postupně legendární rytmickou sekcí všech dob. Natočil zde věhlasná alba jako jsou Seven Steps To Heaven (1963), E.S.P (1965), Nefertiti (1968) a In a Silent Way (1969). U Davise zůstal do roku 1969 a během této doby, když mu bylo 18 let, se Williams objevil i na albu Erica Dolphyo Out To Lunch (1964). Po odchodu od Davise hrál Tony s takovými osobnostmi jako byli, Kenny Dorham, Cecil Taylor nebo také John Coltrane. Tony Williams se zabýval nejen jazzovou a vážnou hudbu, ale byl také velkým příznivcem rockové hudby, a tak si založil si svoji rockovou kapelu. V roce 1969 tak vzniklo uskupení nesoucí název The Tony Williams Lifetime. Původní členové
