(21:37)  1. Atlantis
(18:29)  2. Sahara Love Bossa

This concert in Paris features the pianist with saxophonist Azar Lawrence, bassist Joony Booth, drummer Wilby Fletcher, and percussionist Guilhermo Franco, probably recorded around the same time as Atlantis instead of the 1970 date given on the CD jacket. It consists of two long numbers: the rather mystical "Atlantis," which sounds like something Sun Ra could have composed, and a rapid-fire take of Tyner's "Love Samba," which is mislabeled "Sahara Love Bossa," implying this release is a bootleg. Although the sound is good in places, the poor mix (which is far too percussive and often relegates Tyner's thunderous piano to the background) makes this release one for completists, with the CD Atlantis recommended in its place. ~ Ken Dryden https://www.allmusic.com/album/paris-bossa-mw0000618225
