Philly pianist brings bottomless heart and soul to a solo album dedicated to his old friend and colleague.

We Say...
his powerful Philadelphia pianist came to prominence as a member of John Coltrane’s epochal early-’60s quartet, so it’s only natural that he would bring bottomless heart and soul to a solo album dedicated to his old friend and colleague. For those who only know Tyner’s hard-driving ensemble work, the range he brings to bear on three Coltrane-associated cuts (“Naima,” “Promise,” “My Favorite Things”) and two originals is little short of staggering. One minute, he alights on keys as gently as a butterfly; the next, his playing is as dense and overwhelming as a Mahler symphony.

They Say...
An obvious classic, this piano solo record (reissued on CD in the OJC series) features McCoy Tyner paying tribute to John Coltrane. Tyner not only plays three of Coltrane's songs ("Naima," "Promise," and "My Favorite Things") but two of his originals (a lengthy "The Discovery" and "Folks") which display how much the pianist had grown since leaving the saxophonist's group in late 1965. Few McCoy Tyner records are not easily recommended but this one even ranks above most.
