This 1976 album was released by McCoy Tyner, the American pianist who played a central role in the John Coltrane Quartet since the 1960s and delivered outstanding performances on historic albums such as 'Coltrane,' 'Ballad,' 'Love Supreme,' and 'Ascension.' The album features Gary Bartz (cl, ss, as), John Ford (fl, ss, as), Ron Bridgewater (ss, ts), Charles Fambrough (b), Eric Kamau Gravatt (ds), and Guilherme Franco (ds, per). It is a masterpiece that showcases crossover jazz with a strong ethnic flavor, including the emotional and spiritual jazz of A1, which prominently features Latin percussion, and B1, which incorporates Oriental sounds through tabla and dulcimer.
