Spellbinding.......2007-04-08

I can't remember the last time I sat slack-jawed and awe-struck while listening to a cd. Another review said something about an orchestral sound coming from Tyner's fingers, and that's exactly right. What he does with Naima and My Favorite Things is amazing. The sound is rich and warm and you can feel the vibrations from each string, and from Tyner's soul. This is a whirlwind album of respect and love and forward motion. 5 stars.

Power, beauty, and spirit - one of McCoy's best!.......2007-03-11

An absolute gem of an album, Echoes Of A Friend is a collection of solo improvisations inspired by Tyner's friendship and partership with the great John Coltrane. McCoy is at the peak of his expressive abilities here - alternating passages of quiet grace with others of overwhelming power and passion. A moving tribute, indeed.

McCoy's Masterpiece.......2004-10-10

McCoy Tyner is one of the most important pianists in jazz history. His 40+ year career is remarkable for its diversity and consistent high quality. I consider this recording his crowning achievement. Not only is "Echoes of a Friend" my favorite Tyner recording, I consider it to be one of the finest solo piano recordings I have ever heard. This is not easy listening music. If you like Kenny G., this is not for you. This is intense, passionate music played by a virtuoso musician. Think "Art Tatum meets Igor Stravinsky" and you'll have some idea what this CD is like. Along with Coltrane's "First Meditations (for Quartet)," this is some of the most astonishing spiritual/religious music ever recorded. (And this is coming from an atheist!) Buy this CD, turn out the lights, lie down with your head between the speakers, and prepare to have your consciousness altered.

Don't waste your time.......2002-08-09

I can't believe I blew seventeen bucks on this CD. Tyner's work on Coltrane's albums was lovely, but this is a self-indulgent, mindless hammer job on some beautiful songs which deserved better. I can't help but think that Tyner was unstrung by his grief when he recorded this. A bummer.

Beautiful, quietly intense.......2001-03-31

This is one of the most beautiful, inspired solo piano discs of all time by anyone. It is quietly played but burns with intensity, and is nearly addictive--unlike many solo piano albums it cries out to be played repeatedly for years.
