^This version particularly good. Nate Chinen embedded it in his obit here: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/06/812940062/mccoy-tyner-groundbreaking-pianist-of-20th-century-jazz-dies-at-81

Such beautiful music. 'Extensions' and 'Sahara' are probably my favourites, but I'd never listened to 'Enlightenment' till this morning so what do I know.

one year passes...

Been digging into Tyner some lately and have spent some time with Atlantis — straight fire, like a damn freight train.

Was listening to Alice Coltrane's Huntington Ashram tonight, and some of the piano later on the album really reminded me of McCoy. Did they ever collaborate?

Yeah; she's on his album Extensions.

Ah! I only have mp3s of that one [and thus no sleevenotes] but it's one of my favourites of his

Love this set, for the music, but also for the audience shots of blissed out mid-70s Europeans.

RIP, but also yes, I love this particular band and it's great to see what Alphonse Mouzon is actually doing. Those 90' cymbals and perfectly flat drums!
