| Review:Pianist McCoy Tyner's first full-length trio album since 1964
was one of his most popular. Accompanied by bassist Ron Carter and Elvin
Jones, Tyner (who uses harpsichord and/or celeste for flavoring on three
of the six pieces) shows why he was considered the most influential
acoustic pianist of the era (before Bill Evans began to surpass him in
that category). Whether it be Jobim's "Once I Loved," "Impressions,"
"Ruby, My Dear" or Tyner's three powerful originals, this set finds
Tyner in peak form. — Scott Yanow |
