I have been very lucky to see all three musicians more than once in London. Each guy perform more than once I mean. Three of my favourite musicians playing together sounds a nice experience.
This was released as a cd Implosions by Stanley Clarke. One of my absolute favorite jazz recording/releases, along with McCoy Tyner with symphony. I've been searching forever for this...longtime out of print CD. Seeing it played out is so very bonus!!!

The great Joe Chambers has said that McCoy Tyner supplied much of the swing and drive in the Coltrane band.Listening to this, I can see what he meant, he provides a great platform on which Erskine and Clarke provide nuance and colour - beautiful stuff.
@@WyattLite-n-inn the crazy swing of coltrane's 4tet is born from the interplay of the whole rhythmic section. Tyner's voicings and ofter doted comping really played beautifully with Elvin's agressive, polyrythmic style. If you go check McCoy records with Elvin on the drums, "The Real McCoy" for example, you'll totally hear the amazing dialogue between those two.
BarberChopz _ Music Disagree : Listen to the Stan Getz -Bill Evans album with Elvin. He plays just as great on there as he did with Coltrane ... I will agree that Coltrane’s rhythm section is without parallel though.
@@WyattLite-n-inn will do. I believe you man, Elvin was a powerhouse and one of the best drummers to ever live. All I'm saying is that in that particular setting of 'Trane's 4tet, you can't credit the whole thing to Elvin. At least when I'm listening to those recordings the piano comping gets me as hyped as Elvin's constant boiling drumming, and I love how those two interwine. Sometimes I even enjoy the section more than the actual solo xD
I wouldn't do that. Sure McTyner is a great pianist, surely in Jazz Hall of Fame. But there is no point for me comparing anyone to anyone. What about Bill Evans? Keith Jarret? Should they be measured against? Hard to say one is better than the other, they are legends of their own each, arent't they?
The only thing that surpasses the uncanny precision and freedom of his left hand is the unreal precision and speed of his right. Both conveying the most advanced harmonic concepts.
I don't think this series was ever re released or made available on DVD or recordings . I think I saw once a record album of the episode with Tal Farlow playing with Larry Carlton ,J Scofield ,L Coryell and others but thats it . Maybe the original tapes / film were not kept.
Do you know how difficult it is to play/solo the entire chorus-w/all of it's changes-in the upper regions/high end of the upright bass? Yet this is what Stanley Clarke is doing! As for McCoyTyner, who in their right mind would not acknowledge him as being one of the most influential jazz pianists(if not THE most influential jazz pianist)in history? Not taking from what Bill Evans accomplished, but it seems when Tyner ascended, especially from the period of his association with John Coltrane, that's when everybody seemed to have been influenced(even the great Chick Corea)by him-at least they appeared to have taken a 'back seat' to his prowess on the piano... Also, in retrospect, I never knew about this series called "Jazzvisions"-and I was here in America, all through the 1980s(but I wasn't into jazz back then; liked some of it but I was a funk player/musician). I sure would've enjoyed seeing some of those episodes back then though, because I definitely knew about Stanley Clarke back then; oh well, it's good to see they've preserved the episodes of this series-and posted them(what, some, or all of them?)on RUclips now. p.s.: Does anyone know if these episodes are-or if this series-is now available on DVD? 6-27-22; augmented 6-29-22.
I don't think any of them are on DVD but one of the shows was on a record album. I preserved these episodes by getting out old VHS tapes I recorded from the TV back in the day.
@@stringrip Thank you-and I'm glad you were able to preserve the episodes on VHS tapes(which, I'm told, can be transferred to DVD, if you find the right people or company to do it); they also used to sell the "record VHS to DVD" machines going back about eight to twenty years ago-at places like Best Buy-maybe if you look you can still find such a unit online. 6-29-22.
@@stringrip Thank you again; I just googled some info on it(PVR). Don't have much use for such technology nowadays but for about a $150.00 I may get one, one day.
Когда слушаешь перекликающиеся импровизы таких богов пианизма в джазе,сразу понимаешь их единство мышления,которое даёт нам вкуснейший диалог пианистов!! Бас,тоже не отстаёт от них,как техически,так и импровизационно,доходя до таких мелизмов,до которых не все гитаристы или скрипачи доигрываются,иногда!! Ударные инструменты,отдельная история(?),потому что с ним играть таким мэтрам джаза,как Маккой Тайнер и Стэнли Кларк,одно удовольствие!!--С тем,до встречи!!!
McCoy Tyner is a blend of Mitchel Camilo Oscar Petersen and himself .. True tasty. Peter Erskine is just boiling and playing like a wing of a colibri!!!
Sounds like whoever made this favored Mccoy - his piano volume is crazy loud and theres not too much bass or drums. It is McCoy, but now that his sidemen are legends too it would have been nice to hear their natural tone in the mix with Coy more.
RIP McCoy Tyner.
I have been very lucky to see all three musicians more than once in London. Each guy perform more than once I mean. Three of my favourite musicians playing together sounds a nice experience.
Blessed was Mccoy Tyner. ...God gave Him such talent and ability to write such gems as these .
Enormous talent and musical dreamer ! Stunning proficiency at the keyboard !
I have two of these white Yamaha recording custom drum kits, made in the early 80s :)
Great drummer Peter Erskine ,great musicians !
It is such pleasure to hear Clarke on acoustic bass..and of course the clarity of Erskine

WOW, what a fabulous performance by an all-start lineup.
Killing it! McCoy and rhythm section! Roger Kellaway was throwing down!
Roger Kellaway is killing !!! Great player!!!
Yes! Roger Kellaway is just great. Few people noticed that he is part of this concert too.

As opposed to Elvin? What kind of statement is that, even if it came from Joe C? Ridiculous!

@@pedrobarbeira8729 Very well said -- I agree.
Stanley Clarke is brilliant here. I remember his days playing with Chick Corea. He is a super bassist great technique as well
I consider McCoy the Keeper of the Flame...
The standard against which all others are to be measured.
Simply the Best in Everything he does!
I do nt

Should they be measured against? Hard to say one is better than the other, they are legends of their own each, arent't they?
There's a damn good argument for it, I think that everyone could agree with that!
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Two excellent approaches to the piano.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! No words...
Erskine Playing a Pre Yes Yamaha recording custom in Stage White Set Killer
interesting to hear Bill Evans version of On Green Dolphin Street as well. Tyner had a lot more power, a heavier sound, but Evans was great too.
Wonder nobody is loosing a word about Roger....amazing player as well!
Ah, the elusive role of the bassist in the piano trio formation. So important, yet so ofter overlooked
Erskine reminds we of a math or social studies teacher
with the musician side gigs
unironically good ass joke
Awesome stuff!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Yes, yes.... never heard a performance except exceptional by Mr Tyner.
Love yo McCoy! And, seems ol' Roger did his share of the little tabs, ya know? ;-)
Official !!!
The long living giant, McCoy!
Nice easy listening food for the ear.
The only thing that surpasses the uncanny precision and freedom of his left hand is the unreal precision and speed of his right. Both conveying the most advanced harmonic concepts.
I think he is left handed I might be wrong
Stankey Clarke is such a heavy. Never understood his foray into fusion after Return to Forever.
you gotta love when drums are mixed incorrectly.
perfect
♥️
Is Clarke using solo tuning? Sounds great whatever he's doing.
I don't think this series was ever re released or made available on DVD or recordings . I think I saw once a record album of the episode with Tal Farlow playing with Larry Carlton ,J Scofield ,L Coryell and others but thats it . Maybe the original tapes / film were not kept.

Green Dolphin Street
a favorite
Have posted the show with Tal Farlow and Larry Coryell etc.
Probably the high light of peters career!
Umm he DID play w Wayne,Zawinal, andJACO!…and this is kinda like playing Twist n Shout for jazz guys…great musicians…all
Clarke and Tyner rarely played together, although they clearly collaborated very well.
Man, some good stuff. Anywhere one could buy/rent/borrow this stuff online or anywhere?
Stanley Crake at his very best...
Hard Bop at its Best...
On green dolphin street
The bass player is actually Richard Pryor and he's sober.
Green Dolphin St. Ah yes!

God-like playing but WTF is that low Bb that's louder than anything else in the mix?
Q; Are you a Pole Valter?? -- A: Yes I am, but how did you know my name was Valter?
A hep cat in a cool whistle...
Apenas y puedo escuchar el Ride de Pete...
says who?
McCoy Tyner is a blend of Mitchel
Camilo Oscar Petersen and himself .. True tasty. Peter Erskine is just boiling and playing like a wing of a colibri!!!
Love peter but those drums sound awful! so choked it's crazy. I'm so glad this phase of choked drums is over. yuck.
At first I thought he was playing brushes or something.
Sounds like whoever made this favored Mccoy - his piano volume is crazy loud and theres not too much bass or drums. It is McCoy, but now that his sidemen are legends too it would have been nice to hear their natural tone in the mix with Coy more.
Lo mids droning…but usually the piano is mixed so damn low u can’t make out the lines
Drummers in suits. How it should be...
Should of called Elvin , he wouldn’t bring a drum set like that to play jazz with McCoy or anybody for that matter
Lol! But Then you might not hear McCoy
Should have turned off the mike! Who's dong sound?
noise? it is part of play
