| Review: While this isn't among Tyner's greatest
recordings, it's still a rigorous, often exciting big-band date. The
repertoire includes familiar Tyner compositions "Peresina" and "Blues On
The Corner," originals from trombonist
Steve Turre ("Juanita") and bassist
Avery Sharpe ("January In
Brazil"), plus other numbers by Angel
Rangelov, Dennis Mackrel and
the interesting "You Taught My Heart To Sing," co-written by Tyner and
legendary Broadway lyricist/tunesmith
Sammy Cahn. Although Tyner doesn't play with the ferocity or
unpredictable edge that's characterized his finest sessions, he solos
crisply, easily moving through hard bop, Afro-Latin and even
swing-oriented big band settings. There's a comfortable feel, but not a
staid one. |
