4.0 excellentBedex | July 4th 22

Very nicely crafted jazz, and sweetly produced for a 60s live record, but I also struggle to see any specific aspects that would push this above 'very' good tier, like a behemoth track you'd see on a Coltrane album. It's "just" all round very well made. There is more sax than on some of his albums of that year, but not on every track. 1 is fun jazz, 2 is more relaxed wine jazz, 3 ups the tempo again a bit and really starts to showcase tyner's outright quality even in more 'regular', less spicy jazz. I also noted some references to my favorite things perhaps? 4 gets ever so slightly spicier in some places, and 5 takes it up another half notch too. It is quite dancy but also the most interetsing and perhaps unique track here, but not hugely so. Quality record but I was hoping for a bit more given the average (admittedly with few ratings tho). 4.0
