Remembering John...

Posted by Jim Pearce (A) on July 24, 2017 at 08:29:49

No, not another jazz nostalgia thread: the enja 2014 SHM-CD of this 1991 recording of the McCoy Tyner trio with Avery Sharpe on bass and Aaron Scott on drums. I just wanted to mention that the sound is exemplary even by recent SHM-CD standards: as good or better than any stereo SACD disc I own. Oh, and this is one of the great jazz trio performances of all time. It is amazing to me that a trio could even approach "India".

Actually I now have two great trio performances by Tyner in exemplary Japanese pressings. The 2016 Impulse re-issue of "McCoy Tyner Plays Ellington" with Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in 1964 may be even better.

This is doubly relevant to me right now because I'm finally retiring my turntable and updating my jazz collection to accommodate a shift in taste from bop to post-bop. Any other hidden gems out there? I have all of the usual suspects, but with 74 titles to his credit I'm not looking to buy every McCoy Tyner disc.
