Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, McCoy Tyner

 Review
by Ken Dryden
This odd anthology from Atlantic reissues selections from trio dates recorded during the 1960s by Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock, along with otherwise unobtainable early recordings by McCoy Tyner. Jarrett is joined by Charlie Haden and Paul Motian on two originals, both of which show the obvious influence of Bill Evans. Chick Corea is accompanied by Steve Swallow (on acoustic bass rather than the electric bass he switched to a short time later) and Joe Chambers. The pianist's "Tones for Joan's Bones" is swinging, but not nearly as driving as his works in the decades to follow, while his reworking of the show tune "This Is New" features Joe Farrell and Woody Shaw; both tracks also show the influence of Bill Evans. The selections with Herbie Hancock actually come from a Ron Carter-led date (with Billy Cobham rounding out the trio), but these numbers are as much features for the leader as for Hancock; they are the least interesting cuts within this compilation. The Tyner tracks were taped at the end of his third studio session with John Coltrane, although he had performed on a number of earlier live dates with the saxophonist (though none of them were recorded for commercial issue). Because there are no liner notes, one is left to guess whose idea it was for Coltrane to sit out, but Tyner does a credible job with the artist's "Lazy Bird" without his leader and puts his own distinctive stamp on Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way." These two rare selections prove to be the most compelling reason to pick up this CD.

Reseña
por Ken Dryden
Esta extraña antología de Atlantic reedita selecciones de fechas de trío grabadas durante los años 60 por Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea y Herbie Hancock, junto con las primeras grabaciones de McCoy Tyner, que de otro modo serían imposibles de conseguir. Jarrett está acompañado por Charlie Haden y Paul Motian en dos originales, que muestran la evidente influencia de Bill Evans. Chick Corea está acompañado por Steve Swallow (en el bajo acústico en lugar del bajo eléctrico que cambió poco después) y Joe Chambers. Tones for Joan's Bones", del pianista, es un tema con mucho swing, pero no es tan dinámico como sus trabajos de las décadas siguientes, mientras que su reelaboración del tema "This Is New" cuenta con la participación de Joe Farrell y Woody Shaw; ambos temas también muestran la influencia de Bill Evans. Las selecciones con Herbie Hancock proceden en realidad de una fecha dirigida por Ron Carter (con Billy Cobham completando el trío), pero estos números son tanto características del líder como de Hancock; son los cortes menos interesantes dentro de esta compilación. Los temas de Tyner se grabaron al final de su tercera sesión de estudio con John Coltrane, aunque ya había actuado en varias fechas anteriores en directo con el saxofonista (aunque ninguna de ellas se grabó para su comercialización). Debido a que no hay notas de presentación, uno se queda adivinando de quién fue la idea de que Coltrane se quedara fuera, pero Tyner hace un trabajo creíble con "Lazy Bird" del artista sin su líder y pone su propio sello distintivo en "In Your Own Sweet Way" de Dave Brubeck. Estas dos raras selecciones resultan ser la razón más convincente para recoger este CD.
