NY Reunion


Anybody else have both the LP and CD/SACD of McCoy Tyner's "New York Reunion" and notice the R&L channels are reversed? On my CD Joe Henderson"s sax comes in on the right channel, and on the left on the LP. Both CD and LP are Cheskey. I've checked my Thorazine levels, and although subtherapeutic, close enough.

It's too bad Chesky didn't issue it as a double-LP, to include all of the songs present on the CD. But a great-sounding truncated LP is better than no LP at all, I say. And I BELIEVE that the polarities of my sytem are correct, but I could just be having one of those pesky flashbacks. -John
Sometimes, John, those pesky flashbacks are the highlight of my day. Look out! what the hell is that yellow/orange/violet, solid/vapor crustacean looking..... Mark
when you guys get off the dope can you give a review of the recording? i've been thinking about getting this sacd but wanted to hear what people thought of it first.

anyone?

(is detlof sending you guys this stuff?)
My review: It's an awesome recording. Get it! No, no, don't wait! Go now! And no, Detlof is not Rxing me anything. I happily self-prescribe, thank you. What? You're still reading this? Go buy the CD!
No really, it's a great set with (I'm sure you know) Joe Henderson (his "Page One" is another jazz must-own), McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter on bass, and Al Foster on drums. You can tell that they're just lovin' playing together again. Very well recorded (albeit at a slightly lower level), and sounds even better on LP despite being from (presumably) a digital master and about half the length of the CD. -John
