That's for the forthcoming $200 vinyl package. 😉

RSD release Oxblood vinyl, extra shiny cover limited to 100 copies with a piece of callus from McCoys sons feet (they had to do his entire 2 feet twice for the complete series)

I agree with all of you in that they should have released all at once, assuming there's more. The Michel Petrucciani that was just released is excellent but I also wish that was a multi-cd set.

Well, I guess there was some sort of conglomerate Montreux licensing deal that was made with BMG enabled by some European laws and/or the nature of the festival performance contracts.

To be specific about what is actually on this 84 minute CD:

Latino Suite: From 1986, this is a trio performance, with Avery Sharpe and Louis Hayes.

Eternally Yours: From 1981, this is solo piano.

Fly With the Wind: From 2009,a quintet performance, with Gary Bartz, Bill Frisell, Gerald Cannon, and Eric Gravatt.

Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit: From 1981, this is an octet, featuring John Blake and Arthur Blythe, in addition to McCoy, on this track.

Ask Me Now: from 1986, this is a duet of McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson. 

African Village and Ballad for Aisha: Both from 2009, the same quintet as above. 

A 3 CD set of all three concerts would have been nicer, but what is here is rather good.

If you order any of The Montreux Years CD series, especially from Amazon, play them promptly. When I opened my copy of the Tyner CD today, there was glue residue on the edge of the playing surface rendering the last track unplayable. I am not always prompt about playing my Amazon purchases and that 30 day window can arrive in seemingly no time.
