McCoy Tyner: Falling In Love With Love
by Artur Moral
Despite sharing some common stylistic territories, contemporary jazz giants McCoy Tyner and David Murray collaborated on just three recording projects. One of them is 44th Street Suite (Red Baron, 1991), a release produced by Bob Thiele, who also orchestrated their first recorded encounter on the little-known collective album A Tribute To John Coltrane / Blues For Coltrane (Impulse!, 1988). On this occasion, Tyner explicitly leads an enjoyable--but odd-sounding--session that moves with exultation from blues to free jazz, passing ...

How does one go about nominating Zev Feldman for a Nobel Peace Prize? Time and again, the intrepid “Jazz Detective" tracks down unknown, unheard, un-even-hoped-for sonic artifacts, painstakingly brushes away the audio dust and grime, and puts us front and center at events that rewrite the history of jazz. Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs' another Feldman's project, in collaboration with Blue Note President Don Was, is quite possibly his greatest, a double album of such excitement, beauty, and power ...

When recordings like Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs' seemingly falls from yonder jazz sky, we must stop to thank those swinging stars above for our grand fortune. Because despite all our flaws--a broken politic, a poisoned planet, constant wartime bickering--we are a fortunate, if mostly undeserving, race of peculiarities. That becomes especially apparent when random, instantaneous works of art and human affinity like this grace our path. Located at 242 East 3rd Street between Avenue B and ...

by Mark Corroto
Why is a 180-gram vinyl reissue of John Coltrane's Sun Ship, remastered from the original tapes, important? If you are old enough, you'll remember the advent of the compact disc. After the CD was introduced in the 1980s, listeners abandoned their vinyl collections in favor of the promise of this new technology which was free from the nasty clicks and pops their LPs delivered. What they gave up in the name of cleanliness did come at a cost, and we're ...

by Mike Jurkovic
All music is, as are all our greater gestures and pursuits--poetry, painting, literature, sculpture, dance--spiritual by nature. An outreach by the artist and thus, by extension, us, beyond the daily argot of the ordinary. But sometimes those instances are so far and in-between, so masked by the lawlessness of the present moment, that our higher selves are forgotten, or worse, denied. And sometimes the music is downright holy. Welcome to the church known as the Village Gate. Welcome ...

by Chris May
It is important to emphasize, at the outset of this review, that Evenings At The Village Gate is a John Coltrane album of headline significance. Recorded during a four-week run at the New York City club in August and September 1961, the disc is a snapshot of Coltrane partway through the most momentous year of his development. He is in incandescent form from start to finish, leading an astounding sextet completed by multi-reedist Eric Dolphy, pianist McCoy Tyner, twin bassists ...
