A great live performance. Tyner's ensembles in the early to mid 1970s in some ways remind me of Coltrane's post-A Love Supreme music. There is a great deal of intensity, lots of percussion, and prominent piano as well as saxophone work. This was a great quintet for sure. Nothing like modal jazz mixed with samba! This is the kind of music fusion that lights up the brain cells!
I remember listening to McCoy in elementary school in the 60's. This recording is around the time period I saw him live. I'm so glad I was introduced to him at an early age. This is phenomenal! Absolutely gorgeous!
Perhaps. Tyner had been away from the Coltrane quartet for some years and had clearly established a voice of his own. He also had a decent contract with Milestone Records and an understanding producer in Orrin Keepnews. Getting steady gigs across the globe helped as well. In an interesting way it was in the early 1970s that Tyner became what Coltrane was in the 1960s. Tyner surrounded himself with younger musicians as Coltrane did. I think the younger musicians learned from Tyner and vice versa.
These tracks are all on his 1974 double album 'Atlantis', also recorded live (in San Francisco). The first title is called 'Love Samba' there though, not 'Sahara Lobe Bossa'. I believe all the tracks from 'Atlantis' have only ever been recorded in various live performamces, never in the studio.
McCoy Tyner just loves hitting the keys as fast as he can muster but the master piano player and composer Duke Ellington prophetically [and truthfully] claimed: "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" ...Think about that for a little ...
Maybe different in some ways but McCoy Tyner and others who came after Duke Ellington would not be what they were had it not been for the foundation that Ellington helped lay. Like any art form, what many call jazz is a cumulative experience.
Hard to know what's in another person's head. However, it is safe to say that Tyner's crescendos are as awesome as Ellington's piano genius and the genius of Ellington's band members. If you appreciate great music, you appreciate the greatness of Tyner and Ellington. They both swing, albeit perhaps differently.
There are zero rules. Living in the 30's, 40,s, n 50,'s doesn't propel music anywhere. Cecil Taylor, Peter Brotzmann, Coltrane... they are what jazz is all about. Moving ahead.
@@KSmall109CAB you do know that Mccoy Tyner played in big bands snd his early records were swing records. Did you ever hear his version of Solar? If thst doesn't seing i dont know what is

Steady listening to McCoy since '73 or so. I hear this as peak McCoy.

Tyner is impossible.

different kind of swing brother..way over your head!
