We've heard (and own) better stuff from Portal.
Bart, I enjoyed this one, but not familiar with Michel Portal's earlier work, need to go back in time!

I've always been fond of Tyner's playing since I first heard him on Coltrane's My Favorite Things. This is a beautiful standards album. Tyner's playing is very relaxed, with just the right balance of technical flourish and melodic playing. Also a very nice recording with good soundstage.


Streaming it via Qobuz.
One of his best.

I was curious about this one.
I like it.
But there are records from that time that sound better.

Larry Coryell & Philip Catherine - Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic XI
The Last Call
Qobuz 24/48




Wonderful live album.
Terrific and delicate interplay between the two masters of guitar.
Recorded some 3 weeks before Coryell died (in his sleep)...

I just listened to this album and was about to post pretty much the same positive comment

Edit: adding an interesting review
