McCoy Tyner(piano), Wayne Shorter(tenor and soprano sax), Gary Bartz(alto sax),
Ron Carter(acoustic bass), Elvin Jones(drums), Alice Coltrane(harp)
録音:1970年2月9日
ジャケットの写真をみればイメージもおのずとふくらみますが、内容はアフリカの大地を想わ
せるような躍動感があります。
SIDE ONEの「Message From The Nile」とSIDE TWOの「Survival Blues」は、それぞれ
12分〜13分の大作で、血潮を湧き立たせるような力強いナンバーだ。
全曲、マッコイ・タイナーのオリジナルですが、彼のコンポーザーとしての力量もいかんなく
発揮されてますね。プレイの方も、めくるめくピアノタッチが快楽的な気分にしてくれます。
演奏でのハイライトはやはりウェイン・ショーターかな。テナーも好い吹きっぷりですが、
ソプラノサックスの音色がこの世界観とバッチリ合っていて好い!突然ソプラノが入る場面で
は鳥肌が立つ、、、
後、ジョン・コルトレーンの夫人、アリス・コルトレーンがハープで参加してるが、これも
大正解で、アフリカの大地を、障害物のない大地を駆け抜ける風ってイメージを受ける。
縦横無尽なハープの音色は癖になるね。
ラストナンバーの「His Blessings」はフリー的な感覚で、あまりジャズを聞いてる感がない
が、ロン・カーターの弓弾きを始め、各プレイヤーがやりたい放題演奏していて、何か「生」
を如実に感じるようなそんなナンバー。
全篇に渡って癖になる出来栄えです。何を隠そう僕は慢性のマッコイ中毒な訳ですが、この
一枚手放せないんだなぁ〜。病みつきです。

アフリカの大地を思い起こすような雄大なテーマが広がる、大半はマッコイ節だが今聴いて驚くのはウェイン・ショーターの完成度の高さである。40年前の学生時代に聴いた時はすでにコルトレーンはいなかった。全てをコルトレーンとの比較で聴いていた、その時はつまらない演奏をしていると思ったものだ。
今改めて聴くとマッコイの素晴らしさと同時にゥェイン・ショーターの素晴らしさに感動した。今初めてこの時点で彼がコルトレーンから抜けだし彼の道を歩むことになったと気づいた。

この1970年のBLUE NOTE盤、当時のトレンドだったアフリカ志向のモーダル・ジャズ、とくくられてしまいそうだが、60年代のカオスから抜け出そうとする意思が明らかで、ちょっと初期のEarth Wind & Fireみたいなニオイを感じる瞬間も。今の耳で聴くと、なかなかに新鮮。
アリス・コルトレーンのハープ(ハーモニカじゃなくて、ほんとに弦楽器のハープ)が清々しい。
ウェイン・ショーター、エルヴィン・ジョーンズ、ロン・カーターも堂々たる好演。
おすすめです。

日ごろマッコイ・タイナーは聴かないのですが、偶然にもエクステンションズを聴く機会がありましたので、レビューしたいと思います。このアルバムではハープが入っているところが異色です。タイナーのプレイは以前から耳にしていたので、親しみが持てるアルバムでした。解説などでは、コルトレーンから離れたタイナーのスピリチュアルな…とありますが、ウェイン・ショーターや錚々たるパーソネルのプレイがどうとかに関心が向いてしまうので、ちょっとわかりづらくなるところがありますね。
いま聴くと新鮮に感じるところもありますが、このメンバーなら普段どおりのプレイをしてくれていれば、それだけで充分に満足できそうだと思わせてしまうところもあります。アルバムの中では、そうしたプレイもあるので楽しめる内容になっていると思います。

McCoyTyner with Alice Coltrane
2012年3月10日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
McCoy Tyner and Alice are a special team.
McCoy weaver of the famous heavy sound-tapids behind and next to the late -master of them all-; John Coltrane.
Alice took over the pianostand (and became his wife)later on, in the rougher period where John went skyhigh into complete abstractions and total expression, seeking a Total Spiritual feel and hight.. He just wanted to blow himself straight into the heavens.. (wherever that may be, because things like a Soul are no more than the feel of Gestalt, being aware of yourself and Heaven is an invention of pure religious manipulation in order to have something to claim you on, down here in your one-time great life, as far as I am concerned.. very primitive imaginary-influential mindblockers, but that aside..) I allways felt the extatic reach in that blowing. And extacy, trying to reach beyond reach, is a good source for creation ! Very human and very nature-given state of awareness!
The two, McCoy and Alice , return to the creative period (with then also Pharoah Saunders playing in that sound-idiom and guys like Rashied Ali etc.) of the magic of making meditative-like lifting soundfields that vibrate with you. (Something also influenced from India ofcourse. India was such a large influence on Jazz, wonder why so little is written about that period yet..) Anyway,that special field was reached in highest state in some very nice long numbers of Alice on recordings like: (1.) 'Ptah The Eldaoud', (2.) 'Monastic Trio' and (3.) 'Journey to Satchidananda'. With music of Pharoah Sanders-recordings like (4.) 'Karma' and (5.) 'Jewels of Thought' or (6.) Joe Henderson's 'Elements' or, and here we return to McCoy, (7).the nr.'India' from the liverecordings in the Village vanguard and the complete (8.)'A Love Supreme' of John Coltrane with Tyner there still on the piano on his side..
On this CD, like many of the others mentioned, Alice plays her second instrument: The Harp. Unusual Jazz-thing, but she does it in a very melodic soundwave-way. I like that! Specially the last part of this CD is good. It is a kind of collector's thing. Re-visiting of a sphere-field with warm embrace. Nice! They called it 'The New Thing' in that aerea..
McCoy himself in other company comes out best on that long beautifull number (9.) SAHARA on the CD with the same name..
All the mentioned are 5 stars recordings, by the way. Only this one a 4 star because it takes long before the real Thing comes in, to my feel.. but still..nice!
Well,.. a review with nine tips.. Ha ! Enjoy the listening !!

I great album with a fantastic group
2013年11月17日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The personnel and the general awesomeness vibe made this record a wonderful discovery to me. I love hearing Elvin Jones and Ron Carter together in a rhythm section; this pair is not on that many albums. Wayne Shorter and Gary Bartz keep things totally exciting and creative. McCoy's playing and compositions are inspiring and artistic. Lastly, its a pleasure to hear Alice Coltrane; her harp playing brings a sense of mystical wonder to the songs that helps tie the whole album together.

Extending Your Musical Horizons
2006年6月27日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is a very special and wonderful CD certain to be enjoyed by jazz lovers and those with an appetite for "exotic" music. Most jazz CDs are simply a collection of songs; about the only thing unifying them is that they're all being played by the same people. McCoy Tyner's Extensions is the polar opposite. Although the term "concept album" is reminiscent of wretched excesses inflicted on an unsuspecting public by self-indulgent rockers and greedy music executives, it does apply here. The four tracks of Extensions, though wildly disparate, knit together into a perfectly integrated whole that casts a very particular kind of spell.
Coltrane's ventures into the music of other continents and cultures are well known, and McCoy Tyner was right there with him. The presence of his widow, Alice Coltrane, whose harp adds an ethereal beauty to Extensions, seems both a literal and figurative homage to this sense of musical adventure and spiritual quest. Whether African or Asian, the feeling of other lands wafts through this music like trade winds; perhaps it is most accurate to say that the river Nile never seems too far away.
To praise the individual players resembles gilding the lily. Tyner is arguably our greatest jazz pianist, and he is particularly on point here. Wayne Shorter is simply on fire, at times one can picture him lifting off the ground, his soprano saxophone work is especially appropriate to the feeling of transcendent searching that permeates this CD. If you can find a better jazz drummer than Elvin Jones, please tell me, his drumming churns like boiling water, simply amazing. Gary Bartz would be the headline in any other group, he and Shorter blend perfectly, while Ron Carter offers a solid foundation which is indispensable to this musical voyage. This music definitely kicks, it's got the heat and emotion one finds only in the best jazz. But it gives you more than it. Extensions offers deeply spiritual music for the journey, the journey beyond the horizon.

Must-have for Tyner fans
2000年5月20日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Tyner's recent work, with a couple of notable exceptions, has been in the trio, duo or solo settings. Throughout the late '60s and the '70s, however, he put out a long series of small-group releases featuring some of the finest horn players of the day. "Extensions" is a gem among these.
Gary Bartz and Wayne Shorter, two of jazz's best sax players, then and now, make powerful contributions to "Extensions." Shorter is of course most often linked to his time with Miles Davis, but he and Tyner had a long and fruitful association in the '60s, with McCoy often joining Shorter on the latter's great Blue Note LPs. On this release, we get to hear Shorter's superb work on soprano sax (most notably "Message from the Nile"), which he had begun playing late in his time with Miles. Bartz, on alto, is, as always, a firestorm.
Tyner added Alice Coltrane on harp to enrich the mixture, then finished it off with Elvin Jones' boiling drums and Ron Carter's impeccable bass. The result is an exotic, yet muscular and bluesy sound that stands up to repeated listenings. To sample the variety in sound and mood that Tyner achieved on this album, contrast the driving "Survival Blues" with the ethereal "His Blessings."
Top-flight musicians, Tyner's incomparable blend of thunder and lightning on the keyboard and an unforced air of spirituality and awareness of jazz's African roots make "Extensions" a musical experience you'll enjoy again and again.
