Tokyo, 1972: McCoy Tyner alone at the piano, pouring out a tribute to John Coltrane - grief transformed into pure energy, five years after the loss that reshaped his life and everyone else's. The thunderous left hand, the cascading right, the quartal harmonies he built for Trane's music now carrying the memory of it: solo Tyner is a force of nature, and this is the most personal weather he ever recorded. Made for the Japanese market, which understood his greatness earlier and more completely than the American industry of the day. Victor pressing, powerful and clear. One of the great solo piano records of the seventies, from anyone.
