“With Alice Coltrane on harp, this is one trippy album! For those with adventurous tastes you are sure to have an interesting musical experience with this one”

With nearly Triple Plus (A++ to A+++) sound on side one this copy has the real Blue Note magic      The sound on side one was bigger, clearer, less boxy and simply more relaxed and musical than almost any other side we heard     The really good RVG pressings like this one sound shockingly close to live music     4 1/2 Stars: “The all-star sextet stretches out on lengthy renditions of four of Tyner’s modal originals, and there is strong solo space for the leader and the two saxophonists. Wayne Shorter in particular is often quite intense. Stimulating music.”

All About Jazz

“The album has one foot in the echoes of John Coltrane's "classic quartet," of which Tyner was a member from 1960-65, and the other in the astral jazz style which Alice Coltrane and saxophonist Pharoah Sanders fashioned in the late 1960s and early 1970s”

“Standing at the crest of the form, not only does “Extensions” indicate Tyner as one of the great pianists of his generation, but also one of its great bandleaders and composers as well.”
