It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
Listen to and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Mccoy Tyner is clearly in top form.
While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Man From Tanganyika, track 5 - All My Yesterdays, and track 6 - Lee Plus Three
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Mode To John. It’s a great track!
