McCoy Tyner's first major attempt at commercial
success, 1976's FLY WITH THE WIND, is in a sense a
follow-up to 1973's SONG OF THE NEW WORLD. On that
album, although Tyner was experimenting with writing
for a large group, his material was a direct outgrowth
of his work with John Coltrane. Here, producer Orrin
Keepnews and drum star Billy Cobham bring McCoy fully
into the jazz-rock world.
The orchestral backup and strings that sweeten Tyner's
flights of pianistic fancy add a cinematic touch, and
Hubert Laws's flute lends commercial viability as well
as a textural contrast. But Tyner's playing still
leaves spiritual echoes, while Cobham's excitable
virtuosity makes the pianist's solos sound almost
introspective by comparison. "Beyond the Sun" features
a poignant and spare arrangement; after the orchestral
statement, the piano enters unaccompanied, effectively
imitating the orchestra. Tyner's piano sweeps evoke
strings, harp, and flute. "Rolem," a rock-samba, is
replete with the quick unison passages that were the
rage at the time. (took from cduniverse.com)
