Description
A rare and never before released live performance by McCoy Tyner with Bobby Hutchinson, currently making it only the third time they appear together on an official release. Captured in superb sound quality, this 2CD set in deluxe digipak presentation includes an extensive booklet containing liner notes and rare photographs. As a first-time release recording, it will undoubtedly be much sought after by jazz collectors generally and Tyner and Hutcherson fans in particular.
"McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson, two of the leading figures in jazz since the 1960s, have officially shared the recording leadership only twice, but their collaboration, which began in 1966, has resulted in several encounters, to which this new official album can be added.
In this concert in Perugia, the vigour of both is still intact and can be felt: supported by the powerful rhythm of Avery Sharpe and Aaron Scott - charter members of Tyner's trio at the time - the pianist and vibraphonist offer us a memorable evening that this writer, who was present at the concert, has continued to remember with enormous pleasure over the years, well before this recording was released by Red, making it available to the whole world. We are sure that those who hear it for the first time will appreciate it just as much as we did." - Luca Conti (from the liner notes)
