Spring by Anthony Williams.
"Spring" by Anthony Williams stands as a document of youthful ambition captured in a single day, recorded on August 12, 1965. Originally released the following year in 1966 on Blue Note Records, it remains a testament to the label's willingness to hand the reins to its most adventurous young voices and see where they might lead.
Across five compositions, the record unfolds with a quiet confidence. Side A opens with "Extras," then moves through "Echo" and "From Before," each piece carving out its own space and mood. Side B carries the momentum forward with "Love Song" and closes on "Tee," rounding out a program that rewards close and repeated listening.
This edition has been mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, a name that carries real weight among those who care about how a record actually sounds. Working from the source tapes, Gray brings out the depth and detail of the original session, allowing the music to breathe with the warmth and immediacy that defined Blue Note's finest work in this era.
The pressing itself reflects the care taken throughout. Manufactured in the E.U., with the sleeve noting it was made in Germany, it features etched runouts, a small but meaningful detail for collectors who appreciate the physical craft behind a properly made record. This is a release built to honor the music it contains.
Issued under a 2023 copyright by Capitol Records, LLC. and Universal International Music B.V., with Blue Note remaining a registered trademark of Capitol Records, LLC., this reissue brings a landmark session back into circulation for a new generation. For anyone drawn to the restless creativity of mid-sixties jazz, "Spring" is a record that continues to reveal itself with every play, a fitting addition to any serious collection here at
