Extensions album for sale Product Description

Extensions album for sale by Mccoy Tyner was released Dec 25, 2012 on the EMI Japan label. This CD has an interesting combination of players. Extensions CD music It may be the only recording to include both pianist McCoy Tyner and his successor with the John Coltrane Quartet, Alice Coltrane (who adds atmosphere with her harp). Extensions buy CD music This set also matches the young altoist Gary Bartz with Wayne Shorter (doubling on tenor and soprano), who he succeeded in Miles Davis' group, and has reunions between Shorter and bassist Ron Carter and between Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones. Extensions songs The all-star sextet stretches out on lengthy renditions of four of Tyner's modal originals, and there is strong solo space for the leader and the two saxophonists. Extensions album for sale Wayne Shorter in particular is often quite intense. Stimulating music. ~ Scott Yanow Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on February 9, 1970. Includes liner notes by Andre Prey. Personnel: McCoy Tyner (piano); Wayne Shorter (tenor & soprano saxophones); Gary Bartz (alto saxophone); Alice Coltrane (harp); Ron Carter (acoustic bass); Elvin Jones (drums). JazzTimes (11/96, p. 89) - "... His piano work, always muscular, is especially lean and almost brittle.... it combines with the percussiveness of the harp to form music full of angular shards and spiky energy.... A groundbreaking recording in 1970, this one has lost little of its novelty and none of its power."
