I have this in the 1st Mosaic LP box and it's a good one. Too bad the only way to get this on CD is from the Andorrans. I wish Mosaic was doing CDs then.

McCoy Tyner - Sama Layuca (Milestone)

Found this filed under T in my Exotica section.  At first I thought it was misfiled, as I probably have 15 Tyner LPs in the Jazz section.  After playing it, I think filing it under Exotica was a deliberate choice.

However one labels it, I think it's one of McCoy's finest hours.

Hutcherson's vibes & marimba add some breathing room to McCoy's sometimes breathless music.

I'm pleased to heat I'm not the only one who hears Tyner as breathless, more often than not for me, especially on Milestone. I also rate 'Sama Layuca, thanks to Bobby H.

Sure thing.  While albums like Sahara and Enlightenment have their adherents, there are others (like me) who -- while admiring them -- also find them to be tiring in their relentlessness, especially when taken as a whole.  

The two McCoy Milestone albums that are tops in my book are Sama Layuca and Horizon.  (On the latter album, I think violinist John Blake plays a "leavening" role that similar to Hutcherson's on Sama Layuca.)

Just my 2 cents, of course.

My 2 pence says the same...

Also, I have thoughts about Tyner with Coltrane but I keep them to myself as I want to live a bit konger

Tyner made enough Milestone albums that a box set of them would be easy.

Okay Temiz Trio - Turkish Folk Jazz [Sonet, UK 1975]

Great album, exactly what the title says it is

I am firmly on the other side of the equation - maybe because I experienced those groups in person.

Those were all wafer thin vinyls!

Do you also have this one? It was my favorite of the Maynar EOAE releases:

Also wafer-thin vinyl but excellent sound

😁 👍

I wish I could have seen the early-70s Tyner group live.  It might've influenced my perception of them too.
