The most influential pianist of the last fifty years, and one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time..... Had the opportunity to watch him at work over ten times, outstanding genius.
RIP Dear McCoy Tyner... Your playing/ Compositions and sheer force influenced me and millions of artists/ listener- fans! How You played revolutionized Piano Harmony and Possibilities! You we're a Force Of Nature! Asante Sana! (Thank You Very Much!)
Arthur Blythe was at the height of his powers also. His solo on "Blues On The Corner" starts at 19:00. Don't. Miss. It. it's really too bad that he didn't record more with McCoy ( the only thing I'm aware is a couple of cuts on "4x4" from 1979/1980.
The Heath Brothers did Hot House on side two after McCoy did just one number with this group. This is a great post! I never thought i'd ever see footage from this or any other Montreaux jazz festival except for pricey VHS then DVDs lol. You Tube Rocks. But I guess folks post it here !
...Joe Ford & George Adams were playing with McCoy's group at that time...Arthur Blythe's group at that time was with John Hicks, Steve McCall & Fred Hopkins... Two of the most amazing groups that I ever heard...Huge lessons... Still listening, still learning... Great post, thanks, Fox...
actually George was not in the band at this time. It was Joe and John Blake on the front line for the first almost two years. The 1st year was also the great percussionist Guilherme Franco. Then the last year of my stint with McCoy, Jerry Gonzalez joined congas and trumpet.
Ronnie Burrage , Hi Ronnie, the line up that I was referring to, was McCoy, Sonship, Fambreaux, George, Joe & either Franco or Nana Vasconselos...George schooled me from the time that I was 12 & we were friends, but McCoys group when Horizon came out, were the people that I was close to, especially Nana, who took me to the Brook the first time...Anyway, Sonship & Fambreaux were amazing together & George was really strong through those years & always made me just bust out laughing, ‘cause his chops were the meanest on top of the meanest😆...& then Arthur Blythe moved into my neighborhood, we became tight immediately, around the time that Ray was born, when he was with Mamie & that was it, studying with Arthur & learning from Wadud, Stewart, Hicks...Man, Fred Hopkins became a close friend & knew my older Sister, who went to the U of Chicago...Still, through all of it, I was with George whenever he was in town, the last time that I saw him was with Blood & he was killin’ it like always, truly inspirational, he treated me as an Older Brother/Ally & I’ll always carry that with me...Anyway, later for the past Ronnie...
Ronnie Burrage ...a’ight Ronnie, meanwhile by ‘81, I was with Arthur constantly studying & growing...It’s interesting to me that Mr. George Adams & Mr. Arthur Blythe treated my as a Brother/Ally/Friend & even Family, whereas most haven’t...Nana would just smile his warmest smile, give me props & love, at which point, we’d go eat...Yeah Man, that’s wassup, Ally’s, period...forward, to work...Be well, mych love, Fox🌬🔥🎶✨🎶🎵🕶
I bought the album and they had an alto summit with Paquito, Phil, and Arthur doing ballads then Ornithology! Arthur ate them up and Dr Art Davis from my home town of Harrisburg, Pa played basson that side. The side 2 had McCoy doing Fly With the Wind material or Inner Voices Big band thing.

Had the Honor of being able to play 5 or 6 gigs with Arthur..Higgins introduced me and he was beyond inspiring to work with!!
McCoy was at the height of his powers here. Such a force!
Arthur Blythe was at the height of his powers also. His solo on "Blues On The Corner" starts at 19:00. Don't. Miss. It. it's really too bad that he didn't record more with McCoy ( the only thing I'm aware is a couple of cuts on "4x4" from 1979/1980.
That sort of power gets very boring very soon. It's going down to the deep end!
Chico !!!
rest in peace Arthur Blythe, thank you for posting this live concert

...Joe Ford & George Adams were
playing with McCoy's group at that time...Arthur Blythe's group at
that time was with John Hicks,
Steve McCall & Fred Hopkins...
Two of the most amazing groups
that I ever heard...Huge lessons...
Still listening, still learning...
Great post, thanks, Fox...

Ronnie Burrage ,
Hi Ronnie, the line up that I was referring
to, was McCoy, Sonship, Fambreaux,
George, Joe & either Franco or Nana
Vasconselos...George schooled me from the time that I was 12 & we were friends,
but McCoys group when Horizon came
out, were the people that I was close to,
especially Nana, who took me to the Brook the first time...Anyway, Sonship &
Fambreaux were amazing together &
George was really strong through those
years & always made me just bust out
laughing, ‘cause his chops were the
meanest on top of the meanest😆...& then Arthur Blythe moved into my neighborhood, we became tight immediately, around the time that
Ray was born, when he was with
Mamie & that was it, studying with
Arthur & learning from Wadud, Stewart,
Hicks...Man, Fred Hopkins became a
close friend & knew my older Sister, who went to the U of Chicago...Still, through
all of it, I was with George whenever he was in town, the last time that I saw him
was with Blood & he was killin’ it like always, truly inspirational, he treated me as an Older Brother/Ally & I’ll always carry that with me...Anyway, later for the past Ronnie...
Yeah but you said, "at that time" that band was not at that time, it was before.
Ronnie Burrage ...a’ight Ronnie, meanwhile by ‘81, I was with Arthur
constantly studying & growing...It’s interesting to me that Mr. George
Adams & Mr. Arthur Blythe treated my
as a Brother/Ally/Friend & even Family,
whereas most haven’t...Nana would just
smile his warmest smile, give me props
& love, at which point, we’d go eat...Yeah
Man, that’s wassup, Ally’s, period...forward, to work...Be well, mych love,
Fox🌬🔥🎶✨🎶🎵🕶
...oh Man...treated me as a Brother...&
much love always...typing is whack yo...
...& Burrage is just killin' it...😎
YEAH AMAZING. WHAT CHOPS!
Yeah Ronnie! Check out Mr. Burrage's playing on Jack Walraths' Masters of Suspense from later in the decade of the 1980s.
A piano marathon!
Arthur Blythe SMOKES!
...Oh yeah...always...Peace, Fox
Arthur Blythe!!
Wow beyond belief
Well. ….how's that for energy and execution.....lesser musicians could not hang on this level......this is world class stuff
And that's the least we can say !
It's You Or No one is the first tune
...& Paquito had just got asylum
from Cuba in '81!!!...His group,
with Hilton Ruiz & Daniel Poncé
was S. M. OKIN'...Thanks again,
😎
...I just remembered, the drummer with
Paquito's group was Ignacio Berroa...just
amazing...😎
Thank you for the upload!

The alto summit mentioned on the album is absolutely fabulous!
name of the album?LABEL?CD?
@@myroncohen7619 New York - Montreux Connection 1982 Columbia Records !
Sit back and let the jazz soar over you. McCoy tyner, the master
saw the stick flying out of drummers hand after first solo...
Fancy seeing you here. Great stuff!
I loved the jam at the end.
The Paul guy stood out for me especially his tone. I'd like to check him out some more. Too bad we don't have a name.
He is Joe Ford (it's corrected now)
Great. I'll be checking him out a lot more now. Thanks!
@@chuckyspell Check out Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache band. Joe plays on a few of their albums.
@@mybookfacetube Thanks a lot!
