Sonny Rollins-McCoy Tyner-Ron Carter • Milestone Jazz Stars In Concert

 

Review by Scott Yanow
In 1978 a tour was set up that would feature three of the top jazz stars of Milestone Records (tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins, pianist McCoy Tyner, and bassist Ron Carter) in a quartet with drummer Al Foster. The resulting recording has many strong moments, including Rollins' unaccompanied solo on "Continuum," his duet with Tyner on "In a Sentimental Mood," Tyner's showcases on "A Little Pianissimo" and "Alone Together" (the latter a duet with Carter), and the bassist's lengthy reworking of "Willow Weep for Me." The quartet pieces generally work well too, with these compatible but very individual stylists blending together much better than one might expect.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
En 1978 se organizó una gira que presentaría a tres de las principales estrellas del jazz de Milestone Records (el saxofonista tenor Sonny Rollins, el pianista McCoy Tyner y el bajista Ron Carter) en un cuarteto con el batería Al Foster. La grabación resultante tiene muchos momentos fuertes, como el solo de Rollins en «Continuum», su dúo con Tyner en «In a Sentimental Mood», los lucimientos de Tyner en «A Little Pianissimo» y «Alone Together» (este último a dúo con Carter), y la larga versión del bajista de «Willow Weep for Me». Las piezas de cuarteto también funcionan bien en general, con estos estilistas compatibles pero muy individuales combinándose mucho mejor de lo que cabría esperar.
