McCoy Tyner: Counterpoints
That said, the sound is clear, Tyner is in excellent form and the trio, with Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums, could scarcely be hardier. Packing two solo cuts ("Sama Layuca" and "Aisha") and a Tyner-Carter duet ("Prelude to a Kiss") between extended opening and closing trio tracks, the disc would serve well as a Tyner sampler for the uninitiated, while for the fanatic there's "Iki Masho (Let's Go)," the previously unreleased Tyner composition which closes the record. For the rest of us—as good as Counterpoints is—it's just one more disc to put on the shelf.
