| Review:Pianist McCoy Tyner is heard at the height of his powers
throughout this rewarding set. He contributed all five compositions and
has a colorful and diverse group of major players at his disposal to
interpret them: vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, altoist Gary Bartz, Azar
Lawrence on tenor and soprano, John Stubblefield doubling on oboe and
flute, bassist Buster Williams, drummer Billy Hart and both Mtume and
Guillherme Franco on percussion. The results (which include a brief
Tyner-Hutcherson duet on "Above The Rainbow") are quite rewarding and
serve as a strong example of McCoy Tyner's music. — Scott Yanow |
