| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 4/5 - This album will grow on you
At first I was not sure about this album; the percussionists put me off somewhat, but after several playings I now rate it as one of my favourite McCoy Tyner albums.
You need a little space when listening to it. In a small room, or when wearing headphones, the pounding of the percussionists can be a little overbearing. They are not present on all tracks, so the contrast of the trio with, and without the percussionists, makes for an interesting session.
The mood is lively, and with a strong dose of "fun". This is definitely an album to lift your spirits.
5/5 - The perfect combination
You hear the most joyous and enjoyable pianist of the sixties playing the best American composer. The record is cool, gorgeous, indespensible. Tyner, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison . .. Don't think twice.
5/5 - very
A very tight sounding trio with excellent playing by Tyner. This was my first trio album by Tyner and from hearing this, I am seeking out more. The use of latin percussion on some of the tracks made for some unique renditions of the Duke's tunes. Listening to this album definately puts me in a good mood. |
