Influential drummer Tony Williams recorded "Foreign Intrigue" in 1985 for the relaunched Blue Note label with pianist Mulgrew Miller and trumpeter Wallace Roney, who would both remain with Williams for the next few years in his quintet. Foreign Intrigue, featuring modern electronic instruments such as drum machines and synthesizers, also highlights the performances of veteran musicians Bobby Hutcherson on vibes and Ron Carter on bass.

"I met Tony just before we recorded Foreign Intrigue. In that first recording session I just remember being awed by his prowess at the drums. As I got to know him on a personal level through the years I was continually amazed at his intelligence, his intense involvement with music and his love for the drums." – Mulgrew Miller, pianist
