Free Music Review: The platonic ideal of a Tyner record
Hit: 5 Stars
I definitely agree with William Donoghue. Both technically & artistically, FOCAL POINT is the toppermost of the tynermost. Tyner's low-end is in the left channel and his upper register is in the right channel. On Tyner's own records as a leader, Tyner has been every bit as erratic as Coltrane. But Tyner really redeemed himself with FOCAL POINT. This is fierce hard-hitting stuff that hits you where it counts. There's a 3-beat track called PARODY. Which raises the question: is PARODY so-named because it's a parody of Chick Corea's 3-beat tracks and Bill Evans's 3-beat tracks?
Here's a quote from Tyner himself: "Composition is taking a larger role, which is a good sign for the music. It means that we're hearing other forms. When changes take place in the music, it often happens compositionally. Guys start to write differently, and pretty soon you'll hear a concept change. Of course, it depends on the artist. John [Coltrane] created a change thru his playing. His writing complemented his style. In a way I think that's true in my own case. I write my own music best, as a complement to my style as a player."
