A Love Supreme :-)

My Favorite Things - were you listening to the studio version, or the live at Newport version (posthumously released on the Impulse album Selflessness). Jimmy Garrison is on this live version.

I know and love the McCoy Tyner solo on the live version - yes, that one is surely spiritual.

I'm more familiar with the live version than the studio, that's the one I heard first around the spring of 1970.

During the fall 70 into mid '71 I went into NYC, Slugs Saloon (242 E. Third St.) several times to hear Tyner's quartet. Listening to him those nights he went deep; the same kind of playing he did on the Newport My Favorite Things. Four sets or so - from about sometime after 10 pm, until 3:30 - 4 am..... Herbie Lewis - bass, Freddie Waits - drums, Sonny Fortune - alto sax.....

Time For Tyner is a wonderful album as is his playing on one or more Joe henderson albums. The much later, double LP Supertrios album on Milestone (late 1970s) is very good too.
