Spring is the second album by American drummer Tony Williams, recorded in 1965 and released on the Blue Note label.Blue Note Records discography accessed November 23, 2010 Williams is featured with tenor saxophonists Sam Rivers and Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock and bassist Gary Peacock.
Reception The AllMusic review by Al Campbell stated: "Considering the extraordinary talent assembled for Tony Williams' second Blue Note date as a leader, this could have been a landmark session. Unfortunately, it's not. Spring isn't totally forgettable; on the contrary... However, the five Tony Williams compositions... often failed to provoke the musicians into reaching crucial unity, making Spring haphazard, falling short of the expected goal".Campbell, A. [ Allmusic Review] accessed November 23, 2010
