A wonderful rendition of John Coltrane's classic tune. McCoy plays with such a controlled intensity and elegance that he breathes new life into even standard tunes that we've heard for many years. Of course, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes has such a natural rapport with McCoy and he knows just how to enhance the groove, flow and melodic richness of the music. Nice, thanks.
McCoy draws from such an vast musical reservoir and he bares his wonderful soul with class and elegance. His playing runs the gamut of human emotion from an urgent but controlled intensity to smooth, velvety tenderness; and he leaves you satiated with a deeply memorable feeling of joy. Much respect.
@bobjazz11 Yes indeed, McCoy joined later what was to become the Classic Quartet. But I believe it was Wynton Kelly who played the piano on Naima. Kelly subbed also for Bill Evans on one track of Kind of Blue.
McCoy Tyner is an extraordinary musician. His stage with John Coltrane was one of the most outstanding activities of a group in the entire history of jazz.
The best I can describe this piece of music is to say it's "elegant." I first heard a latin version of this by (I think) Cal Tjader which led me to the Coltrane original and then to here. I've added this to my playlist. :-)

Ballads with vibes are the best. Bobby Hutcherson is the best at vibes. It's a squaring of bestness.
