    I generally prefer his blue note releases. Extensions being my favorite. Or at least it was last time I listened to it. Trident is the only one I actually own on Milestone, although I'm sure others are decent.

    I really like "Trident" too. Like someone else said, I like his Blue Note stuff better. Also, "Reaching Fourth" on Impulse is really good as well.

    I think I dropped the needle on the Passion Dance record and sold it the other day. Same with Inner Voices. Probably should have kept them longer. You're way ahead of me. I tend to listen chronologically and I'm around 1972 right now. A recent collection I found had an almost complete Tyner discography (up to ~1980). I already had all of the Impulse and Blue Note titles. I love those. I was listening to Live at Newport the other night. Clark Terry's opening solo on that LP is refuckingtarded. I digress.

    I have gone into the Tyner Milestone records several times over the years and not really felt them. I have the same problem with Sonny Rollins' Milestone stuff. I don't think it's bad at all. Just not hooking me like the other stuff. It's so weird, because when you look at the personal on these records it's really impressive.

    I'm listening to Supertrios right now.

    I used to hate any jazz with strings, but over the years I've learned to appreciate these more. I guess I saw strings as historically a way to clean up (read: white up) the "dirtiness" of jazz. But when I found out Charlie Parker thought playing with strings was the highlight of his recording career, I turned a corner. Some really interesting arrangements on here:
