Walk spirit, talk spirit: Enlightenment
zu >>>Walk spirit, talk spirit - bitte das Piano abwarten ...!
This complete (nearly 69 minutes of music) July 7, 1973 concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival is Tyner’s most thickly textured and densely played quartet music, and his most explosive. The little-known Azar Lawrence on soprano and tenor saxes, a mere 19 years of age at this date, comes out of a Coltranesque style but gets to his own sound by virtue of an unusual buzzing soprano tone he sometimes uses (a bit reminiscent of oboe or mizmar). Mouzon provides a whirling, muscular rhythm foundation. Nitpickers will note that bassist Joony Booth’s tuning on low notes can get rather approximate, but overall he meshes so well with Tyner’s aesthetic that it’s easily forgiven; the tone he gets in his upper range and the way he glides into key notes help him stand as an equal in thickly textured music where an ordinary bassist could easily get drowned out. Tyner composed all the tracks. The title suite is three-section (Genesis/The Offering/Inner Glimpse) totaling 25 minutes, with the middle movement for solo piano offering sonic variety. “Presence,” which also has a solo piano section, seems like even more of an unstoppable force of nature. “Nebula” opens with a drum/percussion duet between Mouzon and Tyner, opens out into a hard-driving trio with a bit of a Latin feel, then a three-minute bass solo referencing “Thou Swell” segues into an epic “Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit,” which sports one of Tyner’s most uplifting modal themes and sparks one of his most inspired solos.

Damals nahm man sich noch die Zeit für lange Stücke ...
Es passte nicht auf eine Plattenseite.
