Listening to Kenny Garrett’s fascinating Beyond the Wall, an album born from his travels through China and his devotion to McCoy Tyner, I was reminded of this wonderful track. Originally recorded when Tyner was part of the John Coltrane Quartet, “Lonnie’s Lament” became familiar to me first as recorded on the Garrett album Pursuance, a tribute to Coltrane’s music.
Tyner is never better than on the first jazz song I loved, “Olé”; it was introduced to me by my father, whom I blame for my addiction to modal music.
