McCoy Tyner - 'Guitars' (CD/DVD)

[RMI]

"McCoy Tyner's latest release and perhaps boldest outing yet is 'Guitars', a studio throw-down with five of popular music's most accomplished string specialists: Derek Trucks, Béla Fleck, Bill Frisell, John Scofield and Marc Ribot. Assisting McCoy are trio mates Ron Carter and Jack DeJohnette. With a song stack covering the old and the new ("My Favourite Things", Greensleeves", "500 Miles", Mr. P.C." and numerous free improvisations), McCoy finds common ground alongside a group of handpicked guitar and banjo players. It's a meeting of the generations. Included is an interactive DVD documenting the making of Guitars, replete with studio performances, chatter, and viewer options...".
Released September 29th.
