McCoy Tyner - Opus [Inner Voices] 1977
Personnel: McCoy Tyner (piano); Fran Dorsey, Suzanne Simmons, Carl Scott, Bessie Ruth Scott, Adrienne Anderson, Benny Carter , Joani Taylor (vocals); Earl Klugh (guitar); Joe Ford, Ed Xiques (alto saxophone); Alex Foster (tenor saxophone); Ernie Royal, Jon Faddis, Eddie Preston, Cecil Bridgewater (trumpet); Dick Griffin, Earl McIntyre, Janice Robinson, Charles Stephens (trombone); Eric Gravatt, Jack DeJohnette (drums).
This project by the powerful pianist McCoy Tyner is a bit unusual in that he is featured with an all-star rhythm section (guitarist Earl Klugh, bassist Ron Carter, and either Jack DeJohnette or Eric Gravatt on drums), a horn section (which includes a few solos for trumpeter Jon Faddis, tenor saxophonist Alex Foster, and trombonist Charles Stephens), and seven voices. Tyner was responsible not only for the five originals but the arrangements, too. In reality, the voices were not needed (they stick out as a bit of a frivolity), but Tyner plays as strong as usual; he has yet to record an uninspired solo
