Product description

Dive into the world of jazz with McCoy Tyner's "Enlightenment," a live album that captures the legendary pianist's electrifying performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Released in 1990 on the Milestone label, this album is a testament to Tyner's mastery of the keys and his ability to blend various jazz sub-genres, including hard bop, cool jazz, bebop, and free jazz.

"Enlightenment" features seven tracks, including the multi-part "Enlightenment Suite," which showcases Tyner's compositional prowess and improvisational skills. The album opens with "Presenting The McCoy Tyner Quartet," setting the stage for a powerful and percussive journey through Tyner's unique sound. The live recordings from Montreux, such as "Presence" and "Nebula," offer a raw and energetic experience, while tracks like "Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit" highlight Tyner's spiritual and modal influences.

With a runtime of just over an hour, "Enlightenment" is a captivating exploration of McCoy Tyner's artistry. The album features Tyner on piano, accompanied by his talented quartet, delivering a performance that is both technically impressive and deeply engaging. Whether you're a longtime fan of McCoy Tyner or a newcomer to his music, "Enlightenment" is an essential addition to any jazz collection.

This 1984 Reissue 2LP set is housed in a gatefold.

An intense jazz experience spread across two LPs. It's amazing, but you've gotta be in the right mindset for it. This ain't your laid-back, Sunday brunch kind of jazz.

Far from being just another typical Sunday jazz performance... This might just be the best live jazz album I've ever heard.
