Bill Ransom Discography of CDs

Bill Ransom songs Drummer and percussionist Bill Ransom leads a strong post-bop-style session on 2005's GENERATIONS. The program reads like a Who's Who of post-bop and fusion, with compositions by Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Tony Williams, and Jaco Pastorius. Ransom uses various line-ups throughout the session, all of which are adventurous and responsive to the always-vital group chemistry. The combination of impressive musicianship, a well-selected set, and a keen balance between technical precision and spirited improvisation make this a quiet gem.
