5.0 out of 5 stars A Solo Piano Album That Inspires, October 11, 2001

This is such a wonderful collection of tunes from McCoy Tyner. "Tivoli" is a Dexter Gordon tune, relishing in the imagery of the famous Tivoli Gardens. Tyner's rendition is catchy and very lively. "Tribute To Lady Day," an original by Tyner, eloquently pays homage to Billie Holliday. In "Effendi," another one of Tyner's compositions, the rolling bassline of the left hand is infectious, adding even more swing. McCoy Tyner also recalls visions of his old collaboration partner, John Coltrane, by performing three Coltrane originals. The feel of Tyner playing "After The Rain" conjures up moments of pure beauty. The album, as a whole, is stunning. Throughout 'Soliloquy,' there are inflections of Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Bud Powell, and of course John Coltrane, showing just how much Tyner is a lover of jazz and one of the great masters and practitioners of this superb artform. This is the kind of album that makes pianists, like myself, very happy.

This is the first jazz I've purchased in a very very long time... And it's a beautiful reintroduction to a n artform I'd long forgotten. Tyner's complex stylings are dense yet expressive, and the resulting music is a complete pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding piano playing, November 27, 1999

John Coltrane fans may especially appreciate this recording. Tyner played with Coltrane and his talents as a piano player enhanced the beauty of Coltrane's music. His talents really stand out in this solo album. A definite plus addition to your collection of piano music.
