McCoy Tyner: Extensions (LP)

For the four modal original compositions that pianist McCoy Tyner presented on "Extensions," he had been inspired - as the cover image immediately signals - by the music of the African continent. The incisive album was recorded in 1970 with an all-star sextet made up entirely of musicians who had played outstanding roles in the bands of John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Blue Note Tone Poet Edition: stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered in full analog by Kevin Gray from the original tapes, RTI pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on single sleeve, padded inner sleeve
