  • In 1975, 10 years after his tenure with John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner was at the height of his solo career. "Trident," a big, confident album recorded with Ron Carter and Elvin Jones, sounds triumphant. This is a trio that sounds larger than the sum of its parts.
  • Starting a McCoy Tyner album with a harpsichord ("Celestial Chant") is a brilliant idea. Jones and Tyner conjure up Coltrane's spirit by combining spaciousness with yearning flurries. Jones's ever-changing ride cymbal meshes perfectly with Tyner's left hand, while the latter's right hand evokes Coltrane's "sheets of sound." Carlos Jobim's "Once I Loved" is heralded by celeste, the richness of the melody a perfect foil for Tyner's urgent approach. And Jones's cymbal work is, again, wonderful--airy, unpredictable, and magical. TRIDENT is cleverly constructed; there is plenty of contrast, and the overall impression is one of three dynamic masters at the top of their game.
