McCoy Tyner Time for Tyner UHQCD

Numbered, Limited Edition UHQCD!
Playable on any CD player, the Ultimate High Quality CD greatly surpasses all previous CDs before it!
For his third Blue Note album, the great pianist McCoy Tyner took a different direction than before, putting together a quartet without a horn. The ensemble led by piano and vibraphone (Bobby Hutcherson), with double bassist Herbie Lewis and drummer Freddie Waits, gives "Time For Tyner" ethereal textures throughout, which nevertheless show up in a rousing performance: The 6-song set begins with three extended Tyner originals and ends with three radically renewed standards – a quartet version of "I Didn't Know What Time It Was", followed by a trio version of "Surrey With The Fringe On Top" before Tyner closes the album with a stunning solo piano performance of "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face".
In the course of the extremely popular "Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series", Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for the analog reissues of Blue Note US such as "Tone Poet" and "Classic Vinyl" - as a limited Japanese UHQCD with OBI Stripe. The original recording session for "Time For Tyner" took place on May 17, 1968 at Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. UHQCDs, unlike conventional CDs, are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. To protect the softer photopolymer from scratching, another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied. The combination results in a significantly reduced reflection of the laser light inside the CD and an unrivalled precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with normal CD players. Musically, the result is a sound that is strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
While Universal Music Japan's first UHQCD series relied on the DSD data of previous SHM-SACD releases, albums that had not previously been released as SHM-SACD are now being released with increasing popularity. Typically, the master tapes of the Universal Archive are re-converted to DSD for this purpose. UHQCDs are ideal for music lovers who want to get as close as possible to the sound of the recording, but do not have a SACD player.
