I have to agree that McCoy isn't at his pianistic peak anymore. I think Kenny Barron does a better "McCoy" than McCoy can do right now, He's become a caricature of himself.
That said "Reaching Fourth" kicks everyone in the *ss.
Mr. Tyner gets all respect as one of the greatest pianists to ever live, but this is the period shortly after which he can't do what he once did, harmonically, physically, the blazing lines, the complex rhythmic workings -- Bartz was harkening to the 70's harmonic explorations and mcCoy's comping couldn't even step out -- this is a shadow of his greatness... luv the tune, luv the man's body of work -- biggest influence on me - but it pains me to hear him like this-where are those clips from 74?
Thanks for this clip. McCoy and Gary always marvelous.
I found this vdo in Jazz Hot home page.

Mr Tyner will be 71 this year. The history is in this mans playing.... This is very intense for me to listen to.
Children usually don't drink wine and they usually don't appreciate the deep nuances of a fine wine...
