It was recorded in May 1968 and features performances by Tyner with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Herbie Lewis, and drummer Freddie Waits. Harvey Pekar, writing for DownBeat in a contemporary review, said Tyner's playing was "quite inspired and vigorous" and that Tyner "seemingly always performs with discipline and good taste."[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested "Core Collection", calling it "a powerhouse performance from first to last." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCzsjz6OC1g&list=RDCCzsjz6OC1g&start_radio=1 #McCoyTyner #BobbyHutcherson #Jazz #BlueNote #Music

Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after my swim with Ballads a jazz album by John Coltrane released in January 1963 by Impulse! Records. It was recorded in December 1961 and 1962, and released with catalogue number A-32 (mono) and AS-32 (stereo). Critic Gene Lees stated that the quartet had never played the tunes before. "They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs" and just before the recordings, they "would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they'd use, semi-rehearse for a half hour and then do it". Each piece was recorded in one take, except for "All or Nothing at All". In 2008, the album was a recipient of the Grammy Hall of Fame award. - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rOMV0A5jd0&list=RD8rOMV0A5jd0&start_radio=1 #JohnColtrane #Ballads #ModalJazz #ImpulseRecords #Jazz #Music #TenorSax #McCoyTyner #ElvinJones #JimmyGarrison #ReggieWorkman
