Mccoy Tyner has this karate technique in his left hand

@DasWuddItB Now that I've listened to this a third time it's quite clearly "borrowed" form the earlier piece. I'd love to know how that music theme was put together.

Nice bass solo

Does anybody notice the similarities between this track and the theme from The Ghost & Mr. Chicken?? There are notes that are quite identical! Just a thought. something very odd, because that theme music is an adaptation of Mr. Ghost Goes to Town by Will Hudson and originally recorded by Tommy Dorsey!

@rab27901 nope, there hasn't

By the way, Azar is a wonderful performer, but don't dare compare what Gary Bartz does to Azar... that's very disrespectful and not cool... Gary is a towering living legend whose carved out his own space and way of expressing things musically that stands alone! Azar is also very talented and had a nice run with McCoy... but come on, man ... don't try to make that comparison... especially since it sounds like your not even that deep into the music.

I love the way Gary Bartz gets "outside" on his solo in the tune and passionately shares a multitude of musical thoughts in a laid-back but nevertheless urgent way. McCoy's support is infectious and solid as a rock. Thanks for the post that takes me back to when I first saw McCoy perform this live with Azar back in the 70's. Great stuff!!!

In my opinion Gary Bartz doesn't reach Azar Lawrence's performance at all. The epic though melodious phrasing and tone are unique together with McCoy Tyner. Nonetheless a version like this is more likely to be popular, it's less intense, but less challenging as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic.

Thank you for sharing this. Wow.

I never get into "who's the best", but has there ever been anyone who combines technical skill, emotional drama and grace like McCoy has done all these years?
