大学生当時、「アスペクトインジャズ」でこの曲を聴きマッコイタイナーのピアノのファンになりました❗　それからコルトレーンを聴くようになり、一気にジャズの魅力に取りつかれました❗　四畳半の部屋でヘッドホーンを一晩中ジャズを聴いていた頃が懐かしいです。今でも当時のレコードが400枚ほどあります🍀　とても手放せません❗😃

Can you imagine encountering the churning sea of sound in the most famous basement in jazz? I can close my eyes and be 17.... no social media or cell phone sharing, pure wonder.

[@charlesgreenberg1158]

I saw this celestial band play this tune at age 17 in the Vanguard and later owned the LP. 45 years ago the universe entered my mind in the Vanguard, thanks to my jazz mentor, Glenn Pribek, a high school social studies teacher (drummer) that brought students to the Vanguard to hear the pulse of the universe. We exited the Vanguard on a light snowy 7th Avenue night and walked through the deserted streets to catch the last train back to Long Island. When you are blessed by a moment like that, you never leave jazz in its infinite variety and human experience. Later I repaid my debt to my mentor and taught Black American musical art history (jazz) to Chinese audiences in China. Glenn still has a phone number. I left a message with my cell number, but he has never called. No worries, you choose your mentor for your own reasons.

[@impluvium2929]

Are you sure Glenn is still alive? Alive is the memory of the event, but ... people forget.

[@charlesgreenberg1158]

@@impluvium2929 Whomever maintains his phone leaves his voice on the answering machine. No sure if he is alive. I am happy to have repaid my debt to my mentor.

This was like, being among the celestial spheres in another place and time, on a realm of possibility and dreams that appeared just over twilight beaming horizon. The 1970s was a cosmic decade, Pharaoh Sanders, Mc Coy Tyner, lonnie Smith, Sun Ra, and many more great travelers.

[@lucasmajkowski1087]

One solemn night as 6am was lingering, I stumbled upon this and Sahara and they changed my life. John Coltrane enlightened my spiritual senses but not like the environmental masterpieces of Tyner. He pits the virtues of the past against the disbelief of the present. The consistent rhythm and structures of life and what could be imagined. In context Atlantis is a forgotten heaven of the past that can still live in the hearts of us living.

[@user-tx2yn3xf9z]

Simply great, a pure pleasure to listen to, even after decades

[@olatunjimwamba9259]

This is my absolute favorite album/CD by him. I remember when I first heard this album, just after it was released in 1974, I was floored. It sounds like it's two piano players instead of just one. It still gives me 'goose bumps'. The power, strength, energy, and spirituality contained within this CD is still so moving. And the fact that this is live makes it all the more enjoyable.

[@richardfinlayson1524]

well actually there is some doubt,.........

[@charleswhite5808]

Olatunji Mwamba McCoy is paving a new path on this one.

[@karenvarian1174]

This is one of the first jazz albums I ever bought. I had no knowledge of jazz. I bought albums if I liked the covers!! The minute I put this on, goosebumps ran up and down my spine. Many years later it still has the same effect on me. Peace and love from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA

Just commenting to give my respects towards an album that expanded my listening avenues. I can't thank McCoy Tyner enough for giving all of us this music.

One of my favorites of all time, stunning, brilliant- Happy Birthday McCoy Tyner 12/11/1938

[@jazkat56]

I was at Keystone Korner too at that 1974 show! Awesome then and now!

[@t.hattori281]

I was listening to McCoy Tyner's version of Naima. John Coltrane's original version of Naima is one of my favorite pieces in all of jazz, and I know McCoy played for Coltrane in the 1960s. And KZbin led me to Atlantis, which is the very first jazz album I bought in 1975. I was blown away by this piece just as much as I was deeply moved by Isao Tomita's synthesized Clair de Lune, which I bought around the same time. McCoy's is more powerful, of course, but equally beautiful! McCoy Tyner's Atlantis started all of my jazz listening since then. Thanks, McCoy. Truly nostalgic for me to listen to this piece again as I left my vinyl album in Japan.

Other worldly, all those notes, fitting together like some sort of equation trying to balance itself w/ infinity. This is the thesis, that is McCoy Tyner's life's work as one of the best pianist the world has ever known.

Having just moved to Philly, I am diving into as much as I can about this great city. Dang, this guy is a treasure, and I am hearing why here. WOW.

[@CharlesJGreenberg]

I saw this band in the Village Vanguard NYC as a high school student with my Jazz history mentor. I recently taught a video history of Jazz class in Wenzhou, China. I can trace my respect and love for jazz back to this band... and Charlie Mingus live a few weeks before.

[@jzzft11]

Yes brother I was there. Saw McCoy so many times at the Vanguard. The bands w/Azar Lawrence that period. And Alphonse Mouzon too. McCoy and Al Mouzon together were unbelievable. Like gladiators. I was an aspiring pianist and devotee of Coltrane's music. I first discovered Coltrane in '67 just too late to catch him live, but closest i could get was McCoy's and Elvin's bands. I could feel Coltrane's spirit in the room and of course McCoy's personal extension of that spirit and legacy. So much great music late 60's early 70's but McCoy's was the pinnacle.

[@johnsaunders4836]

I bought this album nine years ago and from the moment I’ve played it I keep imagining myself there you guys are blessed

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Although one knows that this is a small ensemble, this is one of those tunes where the band has a seemingly orchestral sort of timbre.

[@27boof]

Yeah, it sounds so huge!

[@randscottwagner330]

Exactly what I was coming here to comment. Saw this live back in the day. Bloody amazing! Absolutely the most powerful piano piece I can recall. Incredibly powerful hands yet effortless in his delivery.

[@MrUrech]

Would it be fair to say McCoy Tyner was 'instrumental' in the psychedelicizing of jazz? I guess even miles' bitches brew already felt like a hell of a trip huh

[@impluvium2929]

Three or four things: The cover is fascinating. It is the east front of the Greek temple of Poseidon in Paestum (Italy). However, the photo is printed inverted, because the cornice of the broken gable is on the left. The musical style is, after all, the grandiose one of the period of the quartet with Coltrane. The atmospheres are the same. I don't like Whyne Shorter's Atlantis from the 1980s, it's dated, while what Tyner has retained from his creative relationship with Coltrane is timeless and among the best in jazz. Coltrane took the path of free jazz, a pianist in free jazz can only commit suicide. Maybe all free jazz is suicide but certainly Tyner understood that it was a dead end.

[@eulipionbell2412]

Where can I GET THIS ALBUM?

[@RayyMusik]

My first McCoy Tyner album! :) Somehow poor recording, esp. the cymbals - GREAT music nevertheless. Isn't McCoy's piano playing like the surf on the album cover? It grabs you and takes you away, and you won't mind.

[@dwalkmusick]

Yes, his piano has that flowing, aqueous quality. And those poorly-recorded cymbals actually sound quite wavy, as well.
