in times like these

In times of difficulty and uncertainty, back to the music. That's how I cope. Here's a link to the Illuminations album by McCoy Tyner, at YouTube.


Personnel

McCoy Tyner
piano
Terence Blanchard – trumpet
Gary Bartz – alto saxophone
Christian McBride – bass
Lewis Nash – drums



I don't have Illuminations on CD or on cassette, but I was playing one of my old minidiscs and found the complete album saved. So I checked the computer and it's saved to the hard drive, too. I'm thinking I must have borrowed the CD from the library and copied it. This album won the Grammy Award for 'Best Instrumental Jazz Album, Individual or Group' in 2005.
