Milestones Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) A month ago we lost one of modern jazz's greatest players. In my opinion, he was also among the greatest composers. Below is just the cream of the crop: Passion Dance Search for Peace Sunset African Village Vision Smitty's Place Contemplation Blues on the Corner The Greeting The High Priest Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit Fly With the Wind Sama Layuca Celestial Chant Beyond the Sun Espanola You Taught My Heart to Sing Three Flowers Effendi Flying High New Orleans Stomp Edited April 4, 2020 by Milestones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Count me in for "Fly With The Wind", "Effendi", "Contemplation", "Search for Peace" and several others. And please add in "A Message From the Nile". In some cases, like the mighty "Sahara", it's hard to separate composition from performance in my brain.

kh1958 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 The studio recording of Senor Carlos was on a rare somewhat commercially oriented McCoy Tyner recording, but I recall hearing thrilling versions of the composition live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I am very partial to "You Taught My Heart To Sing". It took me a while to realize that it was written by McCoy Tyner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
