Review: The great pianist McCoy Tyner teams up with trumpeter Thad Jones, altoist
Frank Strozier, tenor-saxophonist John Gilmore (on vacation from Sun Ra),
bassist Butch Warren and drummer Elvin Jones on the first three selections of
this reissue CD; it is a pity that the potentially exciting group did not have
more of an opportunity to play together for these three numbers are excellent.
For the remainder of the set (three numbers from the original Lp plus three
others taken from samplers), Tyner is showcased in a trio primarily on standards
with bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. Virtually all of
McCoy Tyner's recordings are easily recommended and this CD has more variety
than most of his Impulses. — Scott Yanow
