Tom 1960 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I've got a freebie coming to me from Yourmusic.com and seen this was recently added. I realise there are more worthy sessions I should check out first, but since it's FREE what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Go for it, it's good. I think there should be a Tyner Impulse! Mosaic with all of his dates for the label-- high rate of unavailability on those ones. They could even throw in Jimmy Garrison's Illumination.

I realise there are more worthy sessions I should check out first, but since it's FREE what do you think? My only complaint is the earlier version had 3 bonus tracks. The new mastering probably sounds a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 One of my favorite McCoy LP's. The three tracks with Thad Jones, Frank Strozier & John Gilmore are priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Likewise, this is a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 All the McCoy Impulses are ace, plus "The Real McCoy", on another famous label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 All the McCoy Impulses are ace, plus "The Real McCoy", on another famous label. the Impulse's are very different than the later Blue Notes and Milestones, much more conservative, less spiritual, lots of standards. I like the Impulse's for what they are OK, but am not really a big fan of them. That being said, this one is the pick of the litter for the sextet cuts. And John Gilmore and Frank Strozier were inspired choices of woefully underrecorded players. Wish he'd done the whole album with them. (interesting note that the Elvin Jones/Jimmy Garrison album around the same time also featured excellent, underrecorded sidemen, Prince Lasha, Sonny Simmons, and Charles Davis in the best playing of his career).

MartyJazz Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 One of my favorite McCoy LP's. The three tracks with Thad Jones, Frank Strozier & John Gilmore are priceless. I'll second this. Absolutely love the sextet tracks on this album! Of the countless sessions released under Tyner's name, this one and "The Real McCoy" (Blue Note) are two of the essential Tyner.

Third the sextet tracks. Have the GRP edition with the bonus cuts which are good, but not nearly as good as the first three tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah, that's what I have too. I'd like to get the one with Charlie Mariano as well. But yes, Tyner's Blue Note run is pretty sweet. Glad to have all those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 One of my favorite McCoy LP's. The three tracks with Thad Jones, Frank Strozier & John Gilmore are priceless. +1 Gilmore's solo on Contemporary Focus is outstanding, as is Elvin's brief drum barrage. Also, T & A Blues is just a great title and another great solo from Gilmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Reaching Fourth is one of the most overlooked piano trio albums ever, I think. Hardly "typical" Tyner relative to what came after, but check out how much music there is on there... so much, that's how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasstrack Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 One of my favorite McCoy LP's. The three tracks with Thad Jones, Frank Strozier & John Gilmore are priceless.Frank Strozier at that time was just off the hook. Red hot. Listen to Long Night (with Chris Anderson, George Coleman, Bill Lee, Pat Patrick, Walter Perkins----it was on JazzLand) and you will hear great alto playing. Also, the idea of McCoy and Thad together was inspired. This is a very nice recording. I like Extensions, with Woody Shaw and Wayne Shorter, also. Also, the trio record of all Ellington is very nice.
