Frogman, it was'nt just McCoy Tyner, it was McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. What do "you" make of that, nevermind what others make of it.
Enjoy the music.

Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

I may be the one confused, but I think Frogman's comments were made in regard to McCoy's recording "Sahara", which Elvin Jones did not play on. Great record BTW. If your point was that Elvin was somehow effected by Coltrane, Well EVERYONE was effected by Coltrane! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qehpliGYw0w |
Reached for 'Blues and The Abstract Truth', and grabbed this instead. Great record. Eric Dolphy is in the group. If I were leader, and played Sax, i wouldn't let Eric within a mile of my recording session. :) In addition to being a great record, it will also irritate the Modernists and their Minions. Just imagine, Blues and Jazz!!! Outrage!!! Listen closely you will hear the howls coming out of NYC. Listen to all the tracks. All are killer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6B8ZEZNP7w&index=1&list=PLMYJI0hHMCKK-sY0m_xiS7fvxFgbuuCCa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apo2Md6NRw0&list=PLMYJI0hHMCKK-sY0m_xiS7fvxFgbuuCCa&index=6 Cheers |
