Audio Remixer: David Luke. Liner Note Author: Kevin Whitehead. Recording information: Blue Note, New York, NY (11/25/1988/11/26/1988). Photographer: Frank Lindner. The debut recording from McCoy Tyner's big band features the pianist's all-star 15-piece unit romping through five of his originals (including "Blues for Basie") plus Steve Turre's "Lotus Flower." With such fine soloists as tenors Junior Cook and Ricky Ford, trumpeter Kamau Adilifu, trombonist Turre, and the leader, the ensemble (which includes John Clark's French horn and the tuba of Howard Johnson) had quickly gained its own sound and the results are quite memorable and frequently exciting. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
