Tony Williams' Emergency was one of the first and most influential albums in late-'60s fusion, a double-LP set that shattered the boundaries between jazz and rock. Working with guitarist
John McLaughlin and organist
Larry Young,
Williams pushed into new territory, creating dense, adventurous, unpredictable soundscapes. With Emergency,
Tony Williams helped create the foundation of the style and sound of fusion. It's a seminal release. ~ Leo Stanley
