McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson – Forces Of Nature: Live At Slugs'

Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs’ is a never-before-issued live recording of jazz legends McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson leading a stellar quartet with bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Jack DeJohnette at the hallowed lost NYC jazz shrine, Slugs' Saloon, in 1966. Originally recorded by the legendary engineer Orville O’Brien — who recorded classic 1960s jazz albums such as Freddie Hubbard’s The Night of the Cookers, Charles Tolliver’s Music Inc. and Alice Coltrane's Journey to Satchidananda —the tape has been in DeJohnette's personal archives for nearly 60 years and is now being released for the very first time. Forces of Nature was produced for release by Zev Feldman, Jack DeJohnette, and Lydia DeJohnette, and both the LP and CD sets include an elaborate booklet with rare photos by Francis Wolff,Raymond Ross, and Robert Polillo; plus liner notes by acclaimed author and critic Nate Chinen, and interviews and statements with DeJohnette, Jason Moran,Joe Lovano, Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, Nasheet Waits, and Terri Lyne Carrington.
