A powerful large-ensemble session that serves as a heartfelt tribute to McCoy Tyner's late mentor, John Coltrane. Using the powerful modal language they had pioneered together, Tyner crafts a set of soaring, emotional, and deeply felt compositions for a nonet. The rich textures and brilliant solos make this a pivotal and poignant conclusion to the decade's narrative, as a master carries the spiritual and musical legacy of Coltrane into the future.
