I agree that his CTI titles are stronger than what came after. Still like "Uptown Conversation" better than any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Parade was on Milestone, from 1979: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I remember it. Like so many of his albums, the whole to me seems less than the sum of the parts. I think I like the CTI"s better due to Sebesky's input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 The only Carter CTI that really worked for me was the one with Joe. The others...too much icing, not enough cake. Agreed on Uptown Conversation, though, and I did like that first record with him as the lead instrument, what was it, Piccolo? Pegleg? Both? The piccolo bass band, that worked in a nuevo-Chico Hamilton sort of way for me. The guy has certainly made a lot of leader dates, but...

Peter Friedman Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I am an "outlier" when it come to McCoy Tyner. I smiled when I saw the lengthy list of Tyner recordings on Milestone. It turns out that I only have one of his Milestone CDs. I had a number of them on LP and disposed of them when I came to realize that I did not like them. I have 5 of Tyner's sessions on the Impulse label, 3 on Blue Note, 1 on the LRC label, 1 on Chesky, 1 on Telarc and the Verve Big Band session. For my taste, Tyner is at his very best as a sideman on numerous Blue Note recordings by leaders such as Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Hank Mobley, etc. He also played well as a sideman on a few other labels in the 50's. I also like his early work with John Coltrane on Atlantic. Much of his playing in his later years lacked interest for me. Often a heavy bombastic touch and ideas I did not care for most of the time.
