Heard one of the cuts on the radio ("Mr. Gentle and Mr. Cool")and had to buy this one. Very pleased that I did. It shows the wealth of talent Tyner possesses, well beyond his work with John Coltrane.
When I lived in New York from the mid-nineteen-eighties to nineteen-ninety-one, McCoy Tyner played the town's clubs quite a bit. He was also billing himself as "Keyboard Thunder", a nickname that happily doesn't apply to this disc.
Five stars for this would seem like a no-brainer: McCoy, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums, playing nothing but songs either written by or associated with Duke Ellington, with a couple of Latin percussionists thrown in on a few of the tunes just to add another dimension. So why only four stars from me?
Lester Young is reported to have said that anyone who played a ballad should know the lyrics because they would influence how you played the piece and make it better. Tyner clearly forgot this, if he ever heard it, on the beautiful and sad Ellington ballad, "Solitude", immortalized by Billie Holiday. Instead of playing it as the ballad it was written to be, Tyner turned it into a bouncy-to-the-point-of-bubble-gummy medium fast swinger. It was a horrible mistake.
Consider these lyrics: "I sit in my chair, filled with despair. No one could feel so sad. With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare. I know that I'll soon go mad." These are not "bouncy" lyrics. Anyone who knows the lyrics will most likely have a problem with Tyner's treatment.
So that's why I took away one star. If I could excise that tune from the disc, I would. The rest, however, is a total gas.
A very tight sounding trio with excellent playing by Tyner. This was my first trio album by Tyner and from hearing this, I am seeking out more. The use of latin percussion on some of the tracks made for some unique renditions of the Duke's tunes. Listening to this album definately puts me in a good mood.

At first I was not sure about this album; the percussionists put me off somewhat, but after several playings I now rate it as one of my favourite McCoy Tyner albums. You need a little space when listening to it. In a small room, or when wearing headphones, the pounding of the percussionists can be a little overbearing. They are not present on all tracks, so the contrast of the trio with, and without the percussionists, makes for an interesting session. The mood is lively, and with a strong dose of "fun". This is definitely an album to lift your spirits.
