| Review:Not one of McCoy Tyner's better
known CDs, this trio session is nevertheless one worth acquiring. The
thunderous title track is not even hampered much by Avery Sharpe's
switch to electric bass, though the bassist is far superior on
"Summertime" where he can show off his bowing skills in a waltz setting.
Tyner is at his lyrical best on "Don't Blame Me," accompanied by Hayes'
soft brushwork; though his formidable technique is incredible on his
solo performance of "Yesterdays," foreshadowing his brilliant solo CDs
that he would record for Blue Note in the immediate future. Although six
of the eight tracks are labeled out of order, this release is definitely
one worth picking up. — Ken Dryden |
