McCoy Tyner - My Favorite Things [Echoes of a Friend] 1972

@tpstrat14 I agree with you, I'd have to side on the coltrane version of this piece. I just don't get this version...

[alanwgraham]

As good as it gets - close your eyes and let McCoy take you on a voyage of discovery!

[tpstrat14]

Pretty good, but it's not pure. If you want pure, listen to Mehldau's versoin

[milleniumsamurai]

@tpstrat14 What do you mean by pure, exactly?

[tpstrat14]

@milleniumsamurai This version doesn't stay true to the song.... goes off into crazy-jazz- uninterpretable-world. Not my thing....

This is just elegance at it's finest!

I love McCoy!! This is so beautiful. I saw him this summer at Marcus Garvey Park and his playing was magnificent; just as special was each time he grabbed the mic to speak--it was obvious he was thrilled to say something, and his words were as satisfying to the soul as everything else he does.

Cosmico!!!.....fascino assoluto!...

Grazie Sergio! :-)

@Qadesh86 Ciao Elisa, come stai? Sì, mi ci voleva questo brano che, nelle innumerevoli versioni, mi provoca sempre un lieve capogiro, Non sarà mica la pressione? :-))

[Qadesh86]

@MrGiovanninosenzapau Eh eh...dici che è la pressione?!...era un po' che non caricavi, eh!...dai, dopo questa ottima scelta sei perdonato! ;-))

Per il resto ça va...Et toi?!

@Qadesh86 Resto abbarbicato a poche certezze, "My Favorite Things" di Richard Rodger & Oscar Hammerstein, è una di quelle.

Purtroppo non mi è più possibile ascoltare interamente, e con animo frigido e pacato, le versioni studio e live di John Coltrane, ciò da quando l'esofago mi si annoda attorno alla trachea per poi attorcigliarsi intorno ad un polmone, con singhiozzi e lacrime conseguenti...
