You put it better than I did!

IMHO there's a world of difference between the young Tyner in the sixties (Coltrane Quartet and first dates in his own name) and his later work. Where did the fire go? Perhaps he was overexposed as a leader; Harold Mabern working as sideman seems to have retained that fire to this day.

Gotta defend Bird, come what may. For me, the most sublime artist in any art form whom I've encountered in my long lifetime. Just to be clear, I was kidding. I should have added an emoticon, but I usually pick the wrong one. So relieved to hear that! Nowadays, you never know! http://www.jazz.com/jazz-blog/2008/7/15/is-bird-dead http://www.jazz.com/jazz-blog/2008/7/24/bird-dead-two

Some nice purchases, especially the Blue Mitchell disc. Thanks, can't wait to hear it, bought that one new!. Also,I picked up Charlie arker at Storyville, which I forgot to mention, for 5 smackers! Can speak up for three of those. The Parker is great - very well recorded for a live date - and there's a fascinating contrast between Sir Charles Thompson, late in his career, and Red Garland, early in his. The Blue Mitchell date is very nice and it's so good to hear a late example of Victor Feldman's fabulous piano! Many have said this before me, but Roots and Herbs is a remarkably good Messengers album to have seen the light of day so late.
