An album released in 1978 by American pianist McCoy Tyner, who, since 1960, had been a core member of the John Coltrane Quartet and delivered outstanding performances on historic masterpieces such as "Coltrane," "Ballads," "A Love Supreme," and "Ascension." This album features a live recording of a concert held the same year at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, with a sextet including George Adams (reeds), Joe Ford (reeds), Charles Fambrough (bass), Sonship Woody Theus (drums), and Guilherme Franco (percussion). The album showcases an organic ethno-jazz piece on A1 that exudes cosmopolitanism akin to Don Cherry, and an emotional cover of Coltrane's timeless classic on B2, performed with deep respect. This album is a remarkable performance that thoroughly conveys Tyner's unique spirituality.
A1: Hand in Hand
B2: Naima
