Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Generally, I lean towards Japanese pressings, even with (and occasionally due to) their brighter sound signature. I own a U.S. original pressing of this album, and it's one of those uncommon instances where the Japanese version falls short, in my opinion. The U.S. pressing offers more depth and a wider soundstage, which enhances the recording. Regarding the music, I'm a McCoy Tyner '70s enthusiast, so my partiality is evident. The tracks are typically intricate for this era of McCoy, featuring substantial string sections and a large ensemble. There's more flute than I usually enjoy, but here it works well with the thick horn arrangements. As with much of Tyner’s '70s work, the album reveals more with each listen.

The tracks are quite intricate for this phase of McCoy's career, featuring plenty of strings and a large ensemble. There's more flute than I usually enjoy, but in this case, it works well with the rich horn arrangements. Much like other albums from Tyner's 70s discography, it gets better with each listen.
In my opinion, the M-9067 is a superior LP compared to the VICJ-41860, as the Japanese might've altered the master by running it through a compressor.
I'd probably pick up any album that teams up Billy Cobham and Ron Carter. But with McCoy Tyner, we're talking about a rhythm section that's got some serious deep grooves! The spotlight's on McCoy's back-and-forth with the flutes and arrangements here. That said, Cobham's got plenty of flashy moments, and Carter's bringing a ton of depth to the low end.
