Here is a CD for the jazz fan. This CD, “McCoy Tyner Plays Ellington”, was given to me when I worked for GRP/Impulse Records in the 1990s. The following information applies to this title:

• This is an unopened, unplayed CD.
• Manufactured in Japan by MCA Victor.
• When Released in 1996, it carried a list price of ¥2500 ($19 +/-).
• This CD features 20bit K2 Super Coding*.
• The packaging is approximately 1/2” taller than a standard American CD.
• The CD is in a resealable thin plastic protection sleeve, which has helped keep this CD in excellent shape while it was packed away in storage. This exterior sleeve is OK for storage, but may not survive with repeated opening and closing. Just FYI.
• This CD has NOT been opened or used by me. The condition is how I received it more than 20 years ago.

“McCoy Tyner Plays Ellington” is the sixth album by American jazz pianist McCoy Tyner. It was recorded in December 1964 and originally released on the Impulse! label in 1965. It features performances by Tyner with his John Coltrane bandmates: bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones. Percussionists Willie Rodriguez and Johnny Pacheco appear on four of the tracks. It would be Tyner's last effort for the label, before signing with Blue Note.

The album was recorded at Rudy van Gelder’s studio in New Jersey, produced by Bob Thiele. The album included 7 tracks, just over 30 minutes of music. This CD release is a 20 bit K2 SuperCoding mastering.*

*Developed by JVC, the 20-Bit Super Coding System integrates three important digital audio functions: 1. The JVC 20-Bit, 128 times over-sampling high resolution analog to digital converter. 2. The JVC K2 Super Coding resolves the high resolution 20-Bit signal to 16-Bit compact disc format while retaining the integrity of the low level information. 3. The JVC Interface effectively eliminates jitter in the digital data stream.
