MCCOY TYNER SESSION 1959-12-17:
Date: 17 December 1959.
Place:
Musicians: Curtis Fuller Sextet: Curtis Fuller trombone, Benny Golson tenor sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Addison Farmer bass, Lex Humphries drums.
Recording: Commercial for Savoy.
Primary Source: The Curtis Fuller Sextet: Imagination, Savoy COCY-9018, for items 1, 3, 6, 8, & 10, times from there; The Curtis Fuller Sextet: Imagination, Savoy SV-0128, for items 1, 3, 6, 8, & 10; The Curtis Fuller Sextet: Imagination Vol. 2, Savoy COCY-75911, for items 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, & 11, times from there.
1. Kachin (Take ?) (Incomplete.) (6:53)
2. Kachin (Take 3.) (Incomplete.) (7:19)
3. Bang Bang (Take ?) (6:05)
4. Bang Bang (Take 3.) (6:10)
5. Bang Bang (Take 4.) (2:05) + piano noodling and voice (0:07)

9. Blues De Funk (Take 3.) (9:26)
10. Lido Road (Take ?) (8:19)
11. Lido Road (Take 3.) (8:20)
Notes: This is the first commercial recording session of McCoy Tyner, which makes all of the additional takes especially important.
Take 3 of Bang Bang is listed as Bang Bamg (typical of this reissue programme), and Take 5 of the same ends abruptly, as a tape break would. Items 1 & 2 annoyingly end with a fade out; what music came after that on the original recording?
MCCOY TYNER SESSION 60-02-06 + 60-02-09 + 60-02-10:
Date: 06, 09, & 10 February 1960.
Place: Nola Studios, New York City, NY.
Musicians: Art Farmer: Art Farmer trumpet, Benny Golson tenor sax & narration into 10, Curtis Fuller trombone, McCoy Tyner piano, Addison Farmer bass, Lex Humphries drums.
Recording:
Primary Source: Art Farmer and Benny Golson, Meet the Jazztet, Essence of Jazz, 20 bit K2 super coding CD, MCA Victor Japan, MVCR-20034, times from there; Arpo LP-664.
1. Serenata (3:29)
2. It AinÕt Necessarily So (4:26)
3. Avalon (3:27)
4. I Remember Clifford (3:09)
5. Blues March (5:14)
6. ItÕs All Right With Me (3:52)
7. Park Avenue Petit (3:40)
8. Mox Nix (4:00)
9. Easy Living (3:33)
Benny Golson, narration into: (0:44)
10. Killer Joe (4:11)
Notes: TynerÕs solo introduction to Avalon is quite stunning in its virtuosity and imagination, without even considering that he was 22 then (had I stuck to the sleeve notes I would have inaccurately said 20) and yet to play with Coltrane. His touch on the ballad Park Avenue, quite perfect.
Item 5 ends with a fade out.
The CD re-issue provides the Chicago location for this recording, whereas Swing Journal gives the Nolan Studios, New York, February 2, however, information from Makoto Yoshioka indicates that this recording date was not included on the LP issue itself, odd?
MCCOY TYNER SESSION 60-06-06:
Date: 06 June 1960.
Place: New York City.
Musicians: Curtis Fuller Sextet; Curtis Fuller trombone, Lee Morgan trumpet, Yusef Lateef tenor sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Milt Hinton bass, Bobby Donaldson drums.
Recording:
Primary Source: Curtis Fuller. Images, Savoy MG12164, CD: Japan. COCY-78279)
1. New Date (Take ?) (5:34)
2. New Date (Take ?) (6:24)
Notes: At the beginning of item 2 the booth announcer can be heard saying what sounds to me like take 7, yet on the listings of this issue it is noted as take 1; are there alternate takes for this, if so what happened to them?
MCCOY TYNER SESSION 60-06-07:
Date: 07 June 1960.
Place: New York City.
Musicians: Curtis Fuller Sextet; Curtis Fuller trombone, Lee Morgan trumpet, Yusef Lateef tenor sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Milt Hinton bass, Bobby Donaldson drums.
Recording:
Primary Source: Curtis Fuller. Images, Savoy MG12164, CD: Japan. COCY-78279)
1. DarrylÕs Minor (5:34)
2. DarrylÕs Minor (Take 2) (6:12)
3. Accident (Take 1) (4:10)
4. Accident (Take 3) (4:23)
5. Be Back-Ta-Reckla (7:10)
6. Judy-Ful (9:03)
Notes: Was there a take 2 or others of Accident, and are there alternate takes for the rest, if so what happened to them? Items 6, & 5 end with a fade out, where is the remainder of this music? Item 2 begins with control booth announcement of take 2 + countdown + break down (0:33), followed by laughter, background chat, couple of piano notes, a second count down, taking it to (0:39) when the piece then begins and is played through. Item 4 begins with announcement of 3 edit from the control booth, and someone counting it in: ÒA one, two, a one two three.Ó
Obviously the title for item 5 is a play on sound; be back directly.
MCCOY TYNER SESSION 60-06-19:
Date: 19 June 1960.
Place: Van Gelder Studio- Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
Musicians: Freddie Hubbard: Freddie Hubbard trumpet, Tina Brooks tenor sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Sam Jones bass, Clifford Jarvis drums.
Recording: Commercial for Blue Note.
Primary Source: Freddie Hubbard, Open Sesame, Blue Note CD CDP7 84040 2, times from there; BLP4040; EMI TOCJ-4040; Blue Note BST-844.

2. One Mint Julep (Take 11 – Incomplete.) (5:59)
3. Open Sesame (Take 9) (7:07)
4. But Beautiful (Take 17) (6:23)
5. All Or Nothing At All (Take 22) (5:30)
6. HubÕs Nub (Tale 3 – Incomplete.) (6:51)
7. Open Sesame (Take 8 – Alternate take) (7:12)
8. Gypsy Blue (Take 5 – Alternate take) (Incomplete.) (7:29)
Notes: Items 1, 2, 6, & 8 end with a fade out.
This is the first recording of TynerÕs piece, But Beautiful
This also marks TynerÕs first recording for the Blue Note label, for which he would come to record many memorable performances, both as lead and as side-musician; if Blue Note can be faulted, it is in its corporate manifestations of the label when they lost the ability to make full use of the creative geniuses that they had in their midst, never more apparent when Tyner enter the relative recording silence of the late 1960s and 1970/71, only to appear on the Milestone label, producing the immediate Grammy award nominateddisc, Sahara.

MCCOY TYNER SESSION 60-09-08:
Date: 08 September 1960.
Place: United Recorders, Los Angeles CA
Musicians: John Coltrane Quartet: John Coltrane tenor sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Steve Davis bass, Billy Higgins drums.
Recording: Commercial for United Recorders.
Primary Source: John Coltrane ÒLike SonnyÓ Roulette CD, Roulette CDP 7939012, times for issued items from there.

4. Exotica (Alternate take.) (4:31)
5. Exotica (4:28)
6. Like Sonny (aka Simple Like) (3:55)
Notes: This is the first studio recording of McCoy Tyner with John Coltrane, oddly it was made for this small label, and not for Atlantic.
The recording sequence is from CuscunaÕs notes on Roulette CDP 7939012, where he says that item 2 had bad read problems, item 4 is first issued here, and the title of item 6 was probably changed by Roulette because Coltrane recorded it for Atlantic in April 1959, the titles shown here are Atlantic issue ones. Information for unissued items, CuscanaÕs notes, times for these from Fujioka (1995).
MCCOY TYNER SESSION 60-10-21:
Date: 21 October 1960.
Place: Atlantic Recording Studio, New York City, NY.
Musicians: John Coltrane Quartet: John Coltrane tenor sax, soprano sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Steve Davis bass, Elvin Jones drums.

4. My Favourite Things (13:40)
5. My Favourite Things (pt 1, incomplete) (2:42)
6. My Favourite Things (pt 2, incomplete) (3:02)
7. The Night Has a Thousand Eyes (?:??) (Unissued.)
Notes: Why were items 4 & 5 not issued in the above Rhino/Atlantic set? Probably because there was only one take existing and these were parts of the whole, split thus to issue it as an EP, ÒMy Favourite Things,Ó Atlantic 45-5012, and very successfully as it sold well. The two parts have now been re-issued on a separate CD.

17. Satellite (5:51)
18. Lazy Bird (3:27)
19. In Your Own Sweet Way (5:18)
Notes: Item 19, sounds as though it has been prematurely brought to a close, another way of saying this is that the composition and TynerÕs improvisation sound like they could have continued with much listening pleasure.

Presumably Eric is only on some of the tunes listed above. MilesÕ Mode is probably Red Planet, written by Eric. They also list a session on 24 July with Impressions, But Not for Me, and Greensleeves, a session on 26 July with Body and Soul, Traneing In, and Impressions, unrecorded performances from Detroit on 7 August, the Village Gate on 8 August, and the Monterey Jazz Festival on 22 September (this is with Wes Montgomery).

MCCOY TYNER SESSION 61-03-00 / 61-04-00:
Date: Sometime March - April 1961.
Place: The Sutherland Lounge, Chicago, IL.
Musicians: John Coltrane Quintet: John Coltrane soprano sax, tenor sax, Donald Garrett bass clarinet 2, 4, 5; tenor sax 1, 3, McCoy Tyner piano, Reggie Workman bass, Elvin Jones drums.
Recording: Private tape.
Primary Source:
1. Liberia (Incomplete) (10:54) (Unissued.)
2. Vierd Blues (16:15) (Unissued.)
3. Equinox (Incomplete) (17:08) (Unissued.)
4. Greensleeves (17:48) (Unissued.)
5. Bye Bye Blackbird (10:18) (Unissued.)
6. My Favorite Things (Incomplete) (0:08) (Unissued.)
7. Unknown Title (Incomplete) (7:31) (Unissued.)
8. Cousin Mary (Incomplete) (3:32) (Unissued.)
9. Unknown Title (Incomplete) (2:24) (Unissued.)
Notes: If the date of this recording is correct, than this is the first recorded occasion of Coltrane using two bassists simultaneously, though one would not be so astounded on listening; it is impossible to detect two basses at any part, though this may be due to the sound quality rather than the absence of a second bassist.
Another interesting feature of the session is that Coltrane plays Bye Bye Blackbird, a tune from his days with Miles Davis.
I have two private tapes of this concert which was dated as October in Fujioka, however Porter (1998, p.364) states that this is most probably from April of this year as the Sutherland Lounge was closed in September and the Coltrane concert cancelled in consequence. Further, he also notes that broadcasts from Sutherland Lounge began in October, 1960. The layout of the first private tape is across two C90s as follows: Tape 1-A: 1. Liberia (11:59) short announcement between into; 2. Vierd Blues (17:36) + short applause; 3. Equinox (18:27) stops in middle of bass solo, where there is an announcement: Tape 1-B: 4. Unknown tune begins mid-Coltrane solo (7:02) ends mid-solo short pause, then; 5. Greensleeves (18:49) + clip of announcement; 6. Bye Bye Blackbird (10:42); 7. My Favourite; Things intro, stopped due to what sounds like a tape jam, (0:12) then; 8. Unknown Title? (8:01) tape suddenly stops; 9. Cousin Mary (3:13 tape ends piece prematurely); Tape 2 A 10.. Unknown title perhaps sounds like Impressions absent the intro with a long drum solo (15:42).
The second tape is the concert from Bye Bye Blackbird to the Unknown Original (7),

Announcements into
2. Naima (4:06) (Unissued)
4. My Favorite Things (16:48) Applause over 0:04 of end.
Notes: I have two tape copies of this set,: on one tape, after its conclusion, item 1 is 6:06 and announced as ÔSo What,Õ at the end, over about the first 30 seconds of item 2, which has a very beautiful Tyner solo and, unfortunately, ends abruptly at 3:06, finally item 4 is 16:26, and there is applause and announcement clip – where someone exclaims beautiful - of 0:08 tagged to the end. With the second, better sound quality, tape, there are no announcements (though it is possible to here a faint trace of the start of the announcements at the end of 1), and item 2 is complete, item 3 is also longer, but is without the additional applause and announcement.
(Tapes kindly supplied by Ray Stadt and Chris DeVito, respectively.)

Recording:
Primary Source: Eric Dolphy Quartet, Live in Germany. Magnetic Records CDF MRCD 130, times from there, as is listing of track 5.
1. Softly as in a Summer Sunrise (14:30)
applause + piano & drum warm up + chat/background sound (0:26) into
2. Oleo (18:08)
applause + piano, bass & drum + background chat and sounds (0:11) into

applause + few piano notes (0:14) into
4. The Way You Look Tonight (12:10)
5. The Theme + applause, someone, musician?, says yeah (0:15)
Notes: The Magnetic release gives the date as 02 December 1961, but this date was given by Alan Saul & Valdimir Simoski in their Dolphy discography, saying that it was recorded between dates on the Coltrane and Gillespie tours. The music is far better than the recording quality, however, some saturation for example. Although Dolphy is the leader McCoy Tyner is the more prominent player. A tape slice can be heard near the beginning of EricÕs solo on Oleo. This music is also available on Jazz Connoisseur JC107, an apparently very rare bootleg without item 2 and with little information, and what is on it is incorrect; . on Eric Dolphy Quartet: Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise, Natasha Imports NI-4001; Jazz Anthology (F)JA5234, Stash CECC00095, and (J)CEJC00104.

Notes: Porter, 1998, p. 266, notes that Fujioka listed these items as recorded in 1962 that, however he does not think this possible as Coltrane performed Blue Train only during his 1961 European tour. He does not list musicians, however, if his dating is correct the above seem likely.

8. Impressions (20:44)
Applause (0:06)
9. My Favourite Things (22:43)
Applause (0:43)
Notes: In his discography Fujioka, 1994, gives different times for the above items than found on the Norma issue, most of which probably can be attributed to whether the applause is tagged onto the end of one or the beginning of another tune, mmm, but that explanation is not satisfactory for all pieces: Fujioka lists items 1 and 2 alto sax, 0:27 and 22:22, respectively; a total of 22:45. With the Norma issue, the music plus applause yields 23:10, going straight into item 4, for which Fujioka gives a time of 10:15, but here together with applause it is (10:37). Next for Fujioka item 5 is 6:17, Norma is 6:54. It is with item 6 that the largest mystery begins; Fujioka lists it as 17:20, but Norma it is 19:09, without applause! With applause it is 19:26. It would seem that the tape source for this was running slow, it is distinctly low, somewhere near C, when compared to other renditions of the tune by Coltrane, which are in D. (The Charly issue has the same problem with Mr. P.C.) Going on to disc 2, for item 7 Fujioka gives 12:09, here the music time is 13:44; item 8 is listed by him at 21:45, here it is 22:43, with another 0:43 of applause and calls for encore at the end!
Items 3, 5, 8, on Natashia Imports, NI 4003, are shorter at 11:50, 5:47, and 20:32, respectively.

Place: Le Tete de LÕArt, Montreal, Canada.
Musicians: John Coltrane Quartet: John Coltrane tenor sax, soprano sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Jimmy Garrison bass, AndŽ White drums.
Recording: Private recording.
Primary Source:
1. Unknown set list (?:??) (Unissued.)
Notes: Porter, 1998 pp. 369 - 370, writes that Coltrane played here in this date and that a tape exists for one day of this appearance, with AndŽ White sitting in on drums, the other drummer for the week being David Bailey, of Jimmy SmithÕs Trio, as Roy Haynes had left to appear at the Newport Jazz Festival. However, the last date for this concert week seems unlikely, unless they appeared without McCoy Tyner, as he was performing at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 5 1963, as listed in that session below. In the sleeve notes for that Impulse release, McCoy Tyner, in response to being asked to record, is quoted as saying: ÒRecord? IÕm beat! We played Montreal till the early hours of this morning. I only got about 3 hours sleep. WhatÕs supposed to happen? A Quintet? WhoÕs in it?Ó So there is no doubt that they were playing Montreal, but until when and what was the line up?
MCCOY TYNER SESSION 63-07-05:

Place: Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI.
Musicians: McCoy Tyner: McCoy Tyner piano, Clark Terry trumpet 1, 2, & 5, only, Charlie Mariano as 1, 2, & 5, only, Bob Cranshaw bass, Mickey Rocker drums.
Recording: Commercial for Impulse!
Primary Source: McCoy Tyner, McCoy Tyner at Newport, Impulse 20 bit K2 super coding CD, MVCZ-77, times from there.
Applause, with some talking, and probably McCoy TynerÕs foot counting in beat (0:05)
1. Newport Romp (7:43) applause over the end, straight into:
2. My Funny Valentine (7:59) + applause, Tyner ÒTen minutes of the blues,Ó spoken twice (0:03):
3. All of You (6:23) applause over the end, tape splice indicating a break.
4. MonkÕs Blues (6:49) applause over the end, tape splice:
5. Woody ÔNÕ You (8:59) applause over the end.
Notes: This is a superb session, with McCoy playing some incredible piano, full of rich dissonances, rapid 16 note runs. Furthermore, it is interesting to hear him in another setting at the same time as he was recording at the Newport festival with Coltrane.
However, even for LP length it is short; the splices suggest that other pieces were played (and recorded?); what were they if there were.
My above suspicions were well founded, there is a Private tape listing this session at 60 minutes! Is this a Private tape recorded at the same time or is it from the same source as the Impulse! Issue, obtained either from another release or by fair means or fowl.

Notes: The CD gives the September date for this recording, whereas Swing Journal suggest that it was July 10, 1963, which is correct? I have gone for the CD date, until this is contradicted by another reliable source, as SwingÕs reference album is older. Items 1, & 2, irritatingly fade out. Overall, a good session, but McCoy Tyner is very much a sideman here.

Place: Auditorium Maximum, Freie Universitat, Berlin, Germany.
Musicians: John Coltrane Quartet: John Coltrane soprano sax, tenor sax, McCoy Tyner piano, Jimmy Garrison bass, Elvin Jones drums.
Recording: Recorded by Norman Granz.
Primary Source: John Coltrane Afro-Blue Impressions. Pablo Live. Pablo CD 2PACD-2620-101-2, where the date is erroneously given alto sax, October 26, 1963, for items 1 - 7, times for these from there; John Coltrane The Paris Concert, Pablo Live PL 2308-217, for items 8 - 10.

Notes: David Wild notes that items 8 - 10 were possibly from this date and wrote the following: Ò...there were four releases of music from ColtraneÕs European tours on Norman GranzÕs Pablo-Live label, drawn from the approximately 40 hours of concert tapes Granz reportedly had from those tours. None of the releases reliably dated the performances, and Granz never provided information to me (or evidently to Fujioka). The four were Afro-blue Impressions PL2620-101, The Paris Concert, PL 2308-217, The European Tour PL2308-222, and Bye Bye Blackbird PL 2308-227. The first three drew from the Ô63 tour and the fourth from the Ô62 tour (I was able to match some of the tracks against existing Private tapes at the time). Afro-blue Impressions cited a 10/26/63 Berlin performance alto sax, its source, but Fuji was able to determine that the Berlin concert actually took place on 11/2/63, so that is shown here alto sax, the source for those titles (and alto sax, a possible source for the titles released on The Paris Concert).Ó
(Items 8 - 10, not in my collection.)

On release, though, both takes 4 and 5 were released alto sax, one track, the first stops shortly after ColtraneÕs solo begins, and take 5 is a theme statement only.

This has now prompted speculation about just how many such copies are in the Coltrane family vault, especially for the later part of ColtraneÕs career when Impulse! were not so excited about recording his music.
For items 1, 5, and 6 Fujioka listed their times as 10:35, 4:40 and 2:40 respectively, the actual time of the issued items are those listed above.

The sleeve for IMPD-199, provides the following information Coltrane for all of his instruments, comes through the left channel; Sanders the same on the right channel; and Jones and Ali on right and left channels, respectively.
These are the last recordings of McCoy Tyner with John Coltrane. McCoy Tyner left the Musicians: at the end of 1965, complaining that he could no longer hear himself play due to the double drummer situation. He was soon followed by Elvin Jones, who advanced the same reason for leaving, which puts to death the contention of some that McCoy left because he was insufficiently avant-garde to follow the direction Coltrane was taking.

Notes: Items 2, & 3 end with fade out. Why do Blue Note have such a penchant for fade outs, it is utterly irritating! Then again, looking back over the above, Blue Note did not give much commitment to McCoy Tyner, probably largely, not entirely, a sign of the times, the late 1960s progressive rock boom.

Interestingly, Tyner, when asked if had ever played electric keyboards, replied that he was still discovering, the acoustic piano; here on this session he is playing Japanese Koto, and on some later sessions he plays flute.

Notes: This release, typical of bootlegs, is rather lacking in detailed information, probably taken from an air check. Nevertheless, this disc offers the first recorded evidence of TynerÕs working, touring ensemble. The sleeve gives 1970 as the date of this concert, but from the personnel and location I would place it 1973 at the earliest.

5. Nebula (10:17) + applause (0:15)
6. Walk Spirit Talk Spirit (24:38) (0:24)
Notes: The Enlightenment Suite is presented in continuous flow, The offering is a piano solo, there is applause over the first 3 seconds of TynerÕs introduction, and the music is continuous into Inner Glimpse, with a couple of seconds, at 0:08 into the piece. There is the usual CD track interval between each of the remaining pieces.
This is a splendid set, with a particularly grand version of Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit.
ÒI can truthfully say that music has a way of transcending most barriers between people throughout the world. It is equally true that there is something in nature that seems to prove that giving is receiving. Both of these statements apply very forcefully to the music reproduced here. This was my first appearance in Montreux, and I fell it was one of my best performances anywhere. There is nothing like the marriage between a good audience and a willing artist. IÕd like to thank all the people involved, each of whom helped to make this a memorable experience for me.Ó McCoy Tyner, quoted in the sleeve notes to the CD, speaking of a search for a universal language, some reason for his artistry, and the value of the musicians audience interaction.
There is a private tape of the radio broadcast of this show in existence, it is nice to compare both.

There is something not quite right about this session; this was received as 19 April 1974, and yes, Tyner did perform live with Bobby Hutcherson at that time. However, that was with a septet, not a quartet as here. Also the earliest recording of item 2 is 1980, however, that of 1 is 1991. If this is indeed the Jazz Alley, that did not open until 1979, according to their web-site history:

I found a copy of this album in the Jazz Institute in Darmstadt, Germany, which originally belonged to Joachim Berendt. On the sleeve, besides items 3 and 4, in ink, was marked the dates 12-1-80, and on item 5 12?-1-80. Were these written on there by Berendt, and did he have some additional information not included on the sleeve? What deepens this mystery is that at the end of item 5, the announcer clearly states saynara, and the applause sounds consistent throughout; of course that could have been added later.

Notes: The following are the comments of the recorder of this concert: ÒHere's one for all you sad jazz spanners out there that think that McCoy Tyner is underappreciated. I was in Dayton OH on a business trip long ago and McCoy was playing down the street from my hotel. I decided to go on a whim and took my brand new Sony Recording Walkman with me. I taped the entire show, tossed it my tape box and promptly ignored it for 23 years. I probably didn't listen to it more than twice. The tape is still in perfect condition.
Last week I dig into my big box o' tapes and see this and decide I need to listen to it again. I'm glad I did, there's some hot music being played here. The digital conversion came out a LOT better than I expected. The Walkman was sitting on the table at the show so the sound is very clear plus there's no audience chatter. The band is very good and loud, but I think the star of the show is Gary Bartz, and the violin player really tears the place up as well. McCoy is very generous in giving his sidemen room to play but his extended solos were wearing out the piano keys.
There's some spectacular music in this show, particularly in the second set. The songs are long, the jamming intense, the solos well played and the singing (?!) is also very fine. There aren't many McCoy shows floating around out there from this period and this one is completely un-circulated so now's your chance to be first on your block to hear this.
There are a few digital glitches and anomalies in it, mostly from the tape flips or hiccups in my ancient P333 Mhz computer. Don't complain, 99.9999% of this show is excellent.
Song titles were gleaned from McCoy's stage announcements, where available. Set list corrections are welcome.Ó

6. Uncle Bubba (5:00)
Notes: In the sleeve notes for this issue, McCoy Tyner says of the music:
ÒI would like to take this opportunity to thank my fans who have continued to support my music over the years. I feel extremely proud to present this music to you, considering the fact that I have some of the best and most qualified musicians performing with me.
Producing has become a very rewarding challenge especially when itÕs with your working group. Also composing and arranging, as well as performing keeps my hands full.
For this particular recording session I called upon the composing talents of John Blake, Gary Bartz, and John Lee.
One for Dea is one of my compositions, dedicated to my youngest son. Dea is a very talented and beautiful human being.
Of course when you refer to the great DUKE ELLINGTON thereÕs no limit. Prelude to a Kiss is just one sample of how DukeÕs melodies can totally carry you. All you have to do is start the first note.
John BlakeÕs song Precious One was written for his newly born baby. It has a nice Brazilian, Latin feel to it.
Understanding written by John Lee is a very orchestral sounding piece of music. It moves smoothly across the rhythms that are constantly changing under the melody.
One of my favourite standards is Just in Time. The form of this tune gives you the feeling of never wanting to stop the groove.
Gary Bartz contributed a composition that he dedicated to the legendary THELONIOUS MONK. Uncle Bubba was another name for Thelonious often used by members of his family.
This music represents how good music can sound and feel when the musicians are actively working together.
I am once again thankful for the opportunity to present this music to you. ÒI wish you hours of good listening.Ó
Yours truly,
McCoy Tyner.

At the start of item 2, there is a glitch in the tape. In the announcements McCoy Tyner announces that the tune One for Dee has just been recorded and is due for release soon, he hopes.
(Titles preceding Island Birdie perhaps not in my collection; it is possible that on this tape begins the concert begins on the B side, this seems likely as McCoy Tyner introduces the band after the first tune on that side, which is his common practice.) McCoy announces between 6 and 7, that Uncle Bubba was a piece written for Thelonious Monk by Gary Bartz.

Notes: Item 1, begins abruptly, and a few second later there is a brief outburst of applause, this and the fact that Tyner does not announce the title pieces suggests that this is not the first item of the concert. At the end of the applause after item 2, Tyner can be heard to say thank you before being cut off, is this the first piece of the set, was there an announcement after this? Item 3 is a piano solo. Item 5 ends very abruptly, in the midst of TynerÕs solo. There are editing gaps between most of the items, suggestion this is neither an integral set, nor in the chronological order of performance.

Notes: After the Rain is a trio piece. The copy of the recording which I received was dated as 11 June 1987 or 6 November 1987, however, given the personnel, this looks the most likely date; Tyner had other show following on this with this personnel, and in the following year there are no shows with Hubbard or Henderson, in fact a show the following day for this, if this were in 1987, gives a trio.

Notes: Are items 10 & 11, the encore to a single set, and is item 4 the divider between the two nights, or were the tracks carefully overlaid onto the applause in the mastering studio, which makes it possible that there is no single divide between the items from each nightÕs recording? Item 11 is from the end of a different night, but which one?
This session is available on various releases, on video as well; I believe these are all the same, but this is being researched more thoroughly.

Notes: The radio announcement between items 2 and 3 continues over the beginning of item 3, is for the radio station and the company sponsoring the broadcast; do neither of them think that they endear themselves to the listeners by such ill-considered, art destroying idiocy? Do they think that the listeners to the music that they are sponsoring to gain advertising will respond happily to their destroying the music that they are trying to obtain credit from? Unfortunately, they do not have enough common sense to see otherwise, to see the reality of the situation.

This was the time that GRP owned Impulse! and re-issuing their back catalogue, not so well re-mastered as they might have been. Not an album I would buy without this single Tyner track.
