Product description

Dive into the heart of jazz innovation with McCoy Tyner's "Sahara," a seminal work released in January 1972. This critically-acclaimed and Grammy-nominated album marks the beginning of Tyner's nine-year association with the Milestone label, showcasing his mastery of the piano and his ability to blend various jazz styles seamlessly. Recorded at Decca Recording Studios in New York City, "Sahara" features a powerhouse ensemble including saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist Calvin Hill, and drummer Alphonse Mouzon. The album's five tracks—"Ebony Queen," "A Prayer For My Family," "Valley Of Life," "Rebirth," and the title track "Sahara"—offer a rich tapestry of hard bop, cool jazz, bebop, and free jazz elements, all woven together with Tyner's distinctive touch. Despite some initial mixing issues, the album stands as a testament to Tyner's artistic vision and his enduring impact on the jazz genre. With a duration of 47 minutes, "Sahara" is a timeless addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection, offering a deep dive into the creative prowess of one of the genre's most influential figures.

This 2020 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

I had to replace my 1980 reissue that was taken from me. This version is super quiet, I can hear every instrument crystal clear. Really pleased with this reissue, it's one of my all-time favorite jazz albums.

I'm having trouble with my record, it gets stuck about two-thirds into side B. Has this happened to anyone else's?

Stunning Album, Odd Channel Switch
5 out of 5 stars

This is an excellent pressing of a stunning album. The only thing that feels a bit odd with this pressing is a strange channel switch during Ebony Queen that switches back around a minute later.
