    Coltrane and McCoy spawned this type of spiritual peace in so called jazz......and these sons have carried it forward...…..Pharoah was right there as well and is still here with Azar and so many others

    I saw Azar with McCoy, Alex Blake on bass and Billy Hart on drums at The East in Brooklyn in the early 70's and they were on a whole 'nother level than most groups

    Truly a master class. George Cables! Azar Lawrence! Descendants of the McCoy Tyner and John Coltrane stylistic line. Incredible video.

      I would just say that I think Cables comes more from Herbie than McCoy but Azar definitely comes from Trane!

    Two great artists!! I was not familiar with Azar Lawrence. What a beautiful tone!! This piece reminds me of Coltrane's "After the Rain". Bravo!!

      I'm trying to pick up sax, and I'm not good at that :) I'm very comfortable on guitar, just wish I could feel the same on Sax, so I know how you might feel brother.

      I know what you're saying, it sounds muffled a bit and pretty "dry". Not his fault, I'd say it's on the sound engineering side or RUclips compression.
