Mccoy Tyner Blues For Coltrane Rar Extractor
This is a rather unusual and interesting CD. Pianist has recorded many tributes to his former boss but in this particular situation he often plays a back seat to the tenors of and/or.
And actually only meet up on 'Trane' (with plenty of fireworks); otherwise these are quartet performances with bassist and drummer, and in one case ('Lazy Bird') a trio showcase for. Often sounds close to while as usual resembles no one but himself. In addition to 'Trane,' other highlights include 'Naima,' 'The Promise' and 'I Want To Talk About You.'
We last met the Bridgewater Brothers ( on brass, and on reeds) as part of the album from a few weeks back. They recorded this Japan-only vinyl release in late 1977 with a pretty stellar lineup - Stanley Cowellon piano, Reggie Workman on bass, on drums. I started doing one of my who's-played-with-who jazz chronologies as part of this post, but it soon became clear that these guys have played together in so many configurations over so many years, that such a chronology would have ended up turning into some endless DNA molecule sequence that would have eventually eaten me and spat me out. So the trivia fact of the day is that all five of these musicians played on singer Mark Murphy's 1961 album which sounds, of course, nothing at all like this one (but is a wonderful vocal jazz album, so catch it at El Goog's blog via that link). Also, as part of that initial search, I did come across a lovely 1975 album by drummer Michael Carvin called, which was new to me, and you should check out at Pharoah's Dance.
Mccoy Tyner Discography
Cecil and Ron Bridgewater, West Village NYC, 1976 photo by Tom Marcello As for this album - three long tracks written by the brothers. This is the most straight-ahead jazz I've posted so far - i'll listen to Stanley Cowell play piano any place, any time. Ron Bridgewater's 'Silent Rain' features solos by the brothers and by Cowell. 'Dear Trane' has - you guessed it - plenty of saxaphone solos and some inspired solo bass by Reggie Workman. Cecil Bridgewater's frenetic title track takes up the second side of the album. After some chaotic discordancy at the start, Workman's walking bass holds things together while Cowell's arpeggios go screaming all over the scale, and Carvin is all percussion and colour.
