This project by the powerful pianist
McCoy Tyner is a bit unusual in that he is featured with an all-star rhythm section (guitarist
Earl Klugh, bassist
Ron Carter, and either
Jack DeJohnette or Eric Gravatt on drums), a horn section (which includes a few solos for trumpeter
Jon Faddis, tenor saxophonist
Alex Foster, and trombonist
Charles Stephens), and seven voices.
Tyner was responsible not only for the five originals but the arrangements, too. In reality, the voices were not needed (they stick out as a bit of a frivolity), but
Tyner plays as strong as usual; he has yet to record an uninspired solo. ~ Scott Yanow
