| | Amazon.com: Sama Layuca: Music: McCoy Tyner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Sama Layuca, recorded in 1974, fits solidly into this mold. |
 | | The three lengthy modal excursions--"Paradox," "La Cubaña," and "Sama Layuca"--deliver the pile-driving panoramas now associated with Tyner: large and lush, with Gary Bartz on alto and Azar Lawrence on tenor, relentlessly pushed by Tyner and drummer Billy Hart. |
 | | These primeval and powerful tomes are balanced nicely by "Above the Rainbow," a duet for Tyner and vibist Bobby Hutcherson, and "Desert Cry," featuring the exotic oboe of John Stubblefield, each indicative of Tyner's (and Coltrane's) desire to equate tenderness with strength. |
