5.0 out of 5 stars Mahavishnu meets McCoy, October 14, 2004

By

This review is from: Fly With the Wind (Audio CD)

This is a great album for any jazz-rock fan who is transitioning from Billy's Mahavishnu albums to his solo work. It has a more traditional jazz flavor with elements of jazz fusion. McCoy Tyner's piano work is outstanding and the additions of Laws and Carter make this album a classic. Cobham's drum work is absolutely incredible. This is a nice way to get some of the jazz fusion people into listening to some more traditional fare. The combination of the two styles of jazz really does mesh well. The listener will not be sorry for this purchase!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Jazz/Fusion album, October 11, 1999

This was really the first McCoy Tyner album that I ever listened to and the power this man puts into his music is frightening. Quartal comping and massive altered pentatonics abound on this album which I would recommend to anyone wanting to make the transition from jazz funk to real jazz.

Perhaps the only downside is that the string melody on the first track is repeated too many times and there should be more space given to McCoy and Laws but hey it's still a great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, October 4, 1999

This is McCoy with intense strings providing color, Billy Cobham playing all out on drums, and great Hubert Laws flute solos. This is a high energy album which is also very beautiful.
