Official, unreleased record that is hand-numbered limited edition and includes an illustrated insert. This release features the historically proven trio of McCoy Tyner accompanied by Avery Sharpe and Aaron Scott, with Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone. This double LP is pressed on black, 180g vinyl.
McCoy Tyner (1938-2020) and Bobby Hutcherson (1941-2016), two of the greatest jazz figures from the 1960s onwards, officially shared the spotlight only twice, but their collaboration, which began in 1966, ran like a karst river through both their careers. The two had met, albeit in passing, in the early 1960s: in recent times, Tyner recalled seeing Hutcherson play in the L.A. based Gerald Wilson's big band, while Hutcherson - during his New York period - was a constant presence at John Coltrane's gigs at Birdland.
Three tracks composed by Tyner, one by Hutcherson and three great standards make up the programme of this never-before-released live recording.
In this concert in Perugia, the vigor of both is still intact and can be felt: supported by the powerful rhythm of Avery Sharpe and Aaron Scott - charter members of Tyner's trio at the time - the pianist and vibraphonist offer us a memorable evening that this writer, who was present at the concert, has continued to remember with enormous pleasure over the years, well before this recording was released by Red, making it available to the whole world. We are sure that those who hear it for the first time will appreciate it just as much as we did. (Luca Conti, Musica Jazz director, from liner notes)

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
