There's magic in the air, or at the very least a common ground of shared values that makes this combination of two great musicians turn everything golden. That's not to say their progressive ideas are completely harnessed, but this recording is something lovers of dinner music or late-night romantic trysts will equally appreciate. McCoy Tyner. Extensions - McCoy Tyner. Tyner died on March 6, at his home in New Jersey. They sound empathetic, as if they've played many times before, yet there are enough sparks to signal that they're still unsure of what the other will play. Very highly recommended.

McCoy later said, Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighborhood. He also befriended saxophonist John Coltrane, then a member of trumpeter Miles Davis' band. A flow of adventurous, eclectic albums followed throughout the decade, many featuring his quartet with saxophonist Azar Lawrence, including 's Song for My Lady, 's Enlightenment, and 's Atlantis.

Throughout his career, Tyner continued to push himself, arranging for his big band and releasing Grammy-winning albums with 's Blues for Coltrane: A Tribute to John Coltrane and 's The Turning Point. However, after six months with the Jazztet, he left to join Coltrane's soon-to-be classic quartet with bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones.

  • Mccoy Tyner Doesn't Like Interviews Might Be That Mccoy Tyner Doeso'r Have Much to Say
    su rreal mccoy,n,hec,ub they're asking, "rrVho piano player?" But Philip r/Yatson has some questions of his own in this rare talk with the rarely talkatiye keyboard master, who has a new album ready and a British visit in the offing, Life, Coltrane and everything . Photo by Nick White. McCoy Tr,NER doesn't like interviews. Even his New York booking agents, Paul and Abbie Hofer, don't like interviews. You're not encouraged; McCoy cannot be con- racted; he's nor to be hassied. \When you do get a date, Tyner cancels. Then he cancels again, leaving a cursory and unapo- logetic, "Something came up". And when he finally ar:ives 4t minutes late for our lunch appointment in Greenwich Village, he is polite but profoundly saturnine; a man ill at ease wirh the situation and himself. He is either unfathomable behind dark glasses, or he looks away rwo feet to your left. For an imposing, big-faced man, his expressions give very little away. And he keeps his hands clasped tight in front of his mouth, further stifling the introverted gruffness io his voice. It leads you to believe the Hofers know something about Tyner that most don't. A man who describes himseif as "avery private person", and whose responses to questions about his music often run along the lines of "it's difficult ro articulate, difficult to put into words", the reason McCoy Tyner doesn't like interviews might be that McCoy Tyner doeso'r have much to say. O N T H E bandstand, of course, Tyner is somewhat more expansive.

  • A Tribute to Mccoy Tyner
    Is This Jazz?: Passion Reverence Transcendence — A Tribute to McCoy Tyner On December 11, the legendary jazz pianist McCoy Tyner turned 80 years old. A few months earlier, I received an album by the trio of pianist Benito Gonzalez, drummer Gerry Gibbs and bassist Essiet Okon Essiet that was conceived and recorded as a tribute to Tyner’s musical genius and legacy, and released on Whaling City Sound this past April. Unfortunately, I never got around to sitting down with the album and giving it a proper listen, but Tyner’s 80th birthday made me think now would be as good time to dig into this album: Passion Reverence Transcendence. If anyone was ever going to question how much passion this trio was bringing to this project, then any doubt would be furiously extinguished in the first seconds of the opening track “Fly With The Wind,” a McCoy Tyner classic. They come out slinging fire, playing this chart at full tilt. This explosiveness segues well into “Just Feelin’,” which imbues Tyner’s chart with a contemporary, slightly fusion sound with the use of the electric bass and the loose half-time groove, followed by the heavy swinging “Rotunda,” which is a brilliant showcase for the pocket of Gibbs and Okon Essiet. The arrangement and production on the intro to “Festival In Bahia” are a lovely reprieve before launching into another full on sonic boom, this time with some interesting Afro-Cuban rhythms and a range of percussion. By the time I reached track 5, “Blues On The Corner,” I was itching for a new feel and the trio delivered with a wonderfully laid-back blues on which everyone hangs back without losing any of the momentum they’ve established over the first third of this album.
