Jazz Pentatonics

Released in 1989 on Blue Note Records, Things Ain't What They Used To Be is a commanding collection of solo piano performances and intimate duets by piano legend McCoy Tyner. Recorded during the same 1989 sessions that produced Revelations, the album captures Tyner's signature thunderous block chords, virtuosic modal pentatonics, and deep blues feeling across 13 tracks. While a majority of the cuts feature Tyner performing solo interpretations of timeless jazz standards and originals—including John Coltrane's "Naima," Thelonious Monk's "I Mean You," and his own classic "Blues On The Corner"—the session is heightened by brilliant guest duet appearances. Tenor saxophonist George Adams joins for soulful renditions of the title track and "My One And Only Love," while guitarist John Scofield contributes intricate string dialogue on "I Mean You" and "Song For My Lady." A vital showcase of Tyner's unmatched pianistic authority.

An inspiring collection of voodoo blues lines, rhythms and artist-inspired licks "Let me live 'neath your spell. Do do that voodoo that you do so well." Cole Porter didn't play guitar but he did recognize the power of voodoo. Thankfully Steve Trovato not only plays guitar but is also a highly respected educator and witch doctor of the blues.

51 essential principles for the contemporary guitarist Some guitarists are obsessed with learning all of the whats and whys of music while others focus mostly on the whats without obsessing too much about the whys. Then there’s those who could care less about either. The first group seeks out a more formal music education, the second group leans more towards private instruction or self-study programs, and the third group enters a shed only to pull out their weed whackers.
