4.0 excellentBedex | August 30th 23

Aaah, there he is, Tyner playing like he was with Coltrane! 1 is a really engaging, Tyner heavy first track that I really loved, very similar to his soloing with Coltrane. although there is a sax it is less adventurous than what you find on a Coltrane quartet record, but this is still a darn nice track. The last minute is a bit less my vibe though with a touch of Duke Ellington DNA. 2 is nice too but a little less engaging, and here on the contrary the last minute is also the best one being cool and weird with its flutes. 3 is fun, a bit too keys-shaking all over the place for me, but has the merit of being energizing. 4 is a bit more standard but a really good track at that. The intro to 5 is mysterious, orchestral and really nice, prefacing a grand track that never comes and is instead a wine jazz track that isn't bad at all but underwhelms and ends the album on a soft, cushy note. Excited to find this Tyner back, but I'd be over-rating if I gave more than a 3.85
