Atlantis (McCoy Tyner album)
Atlantis is a live album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Milestone label. It was recorded at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco on August 31 and September 1, 1974, and features Tyner in performance with saxophonist Azar Lawrence, bassist Juini Booth, drummer Wilby Fletcher and percussionist Guilherme Franco. Reception. Scott Yanow, writing for Allmusic, notes that "Tyner creates some very powerful and highly original solos, really tearing into some of the more extended pieces... Essential music that still sounds fresh and adventurous". Richard Cook and Brian Morton, authors of "The Penguin Guide to  Jazz", opine that the both "Enlightenment" and "Atlantis" are "two huge, sprawling concert recordings which will drain most listeners: Tyner's piano outpourings seem unstoppable, and Lawrence comes on as an even fierier spirit than Fortune, even if both are in thrall to Coltrane." Track listing. "Recorded on August 31 (tracks 3, 5) and September 1, 1974 (tracks 1, 2, 4 and 6)."
