The great and legendary jazz pianist, known for his recordings with John Coltrane and his original compositions, died March 6th of this year. He had one of the most powerful left hands in jazz–but he actually gained a reputation as a composer even before he made his first record.
In this episode you’ll hear lots of music, and not that much talk. We’ll let McCoy Tyner’s playing do the talking.
I also play two compositions of his as interpreted by others. You’ll hear Tessa Souter with her interpretation of Contemplation (under the title “Ancestors”), and a great Toronto quartet playing Island Birdie.
