 MCCOY TYNER NEVER MISS THE TARGET Apr 17, 2008
Mccoy tyners does it oncemore .THIS LIVE RECORDING is among mccoy s strongest efforts.The other ones IMO are his collaboration with the LATIN ALL STARS the marvelous LA LEYENDA DE LA HORA and NEW YORK REUNION.Perhaps a sharper and more speedy saxophone tune would help better the flow of excitement but this minor point would not be able to spoil the general result so as not to give it five stars .

 Lovano Ruined Everything, Where's McCoy At? Jan 23, 2008
This is one of the worst albums I've purchased lately. I don't know where to start, except to say, this is an awful album.
Lovano needs to learn how to play the saxophone. He plays fine with Paul Motian, but here he misses every mark. His tone is horrible and his note choices are just wrong. He plays the wrong notes and choices to play the wrong notes on purpose. He is a much better player than this.
Making matters worse, if Lovano's horrific approach to playing saxophone wasn't enough, Tyner chose to let Lovano do all of the playing. This is McCoy Tyner's band, not Joe Lovano's. McCoy's leadership skills aren't that of a seasoned professional, but someone who is comatose. Wake up Tyner! This is your band! When McCoy does play, he's behind the beat and his timing and rhythm are obviously off.
Finally, this brings me to the rhythm section, where are they? I guess they're at lunch, because you can't hear them over Lovano's saxophone squawks and honks.
Tyner, in all honesty, should focus his talent on writing big band arrangements as long as he picks a saxophone player that can play lyrically.
Don't waste your money on this album. What I thought was funny though, were the people in the audience actually cheering for the band. One guy screamed, "Yeah!" All I have to say to him is "NOOOOO!!!" Stay away from this one!

Great music Jan 23, 2008
This is great music with a mix of a living legend and some up and coming young talents. I love how the crowd was encouraging each of the musicians through the recording.
