Allmusic:
An obvious classic, this piano solo record (reissued on CD in the OJC series) features McCoy Tyner paying tribute to John Coltrane. Tyner not only plays three of Coltrane's songs ("Naima," "Promise," and "My Favorite Things") but two of his originals (a lengthy "The Discovery" and "Folks") which display how much the pianist had grown since leaving the saxophonist's group in late 1965. Few McCoy Tyner records are not easily recommended but this one even ranks above most.

Tracks
-1. "Naima" (Coltrane) - 6:43
-2. "Promise" (Coltrane) - 6:14
-3. "My Favorite Things" (Hammerstein, Rodgers) - 8:44
-4. "The Discovery" - 17:35
-5. "Folks Tyner" - 7:33
