3.5 greatBedex | June 27th 22

Although the rest of the album is a bit more (but not fully) conventional, and slightly compilation-feeling, 1 makes me think I will really enjoy this discog as expected, with its crazy energy and fun dissonances already in the intro. I also thought throughout the album that the drumming was prominently good, whether it be as the frantic stronghold of 1 and 6, the groove of 2, or the solo on 5. I then googled it and it all made sense when it turned out the drummer was none other that another one of Coltrane's quartet members, Elvin Jones. 2 although not as engaging as 1 is still a very fun track that would work well over a rich cocktail/dinner party scene. 3 gets more interesting in places as it goes, whilst 4 is fairly standard but well crafted relaxed nocturnal jazz. Aside from the drum solo 5 also felt fairly generic, whilst 6 was perhaps my second fav here after 1. As expected, Tyner's music works absolutely well without a sax, though sometimes you do wonder how this would have turned out had a fourth member been added to the trio - but that's just because I can't help longing for more classic Coltrane quartet material. 3.6

After achieveing great success under Coltrane?s Quartet, Tyner goes solo, and what a first effort this is! Fantastic slightly dissonant at times piano, weird time-signatures, and every member gets moments in the spotlight.
