McCoy Tyner Quartet September 9, 2010

McCoy Tyner’s harmonic contributions and dramatic rhythmic devices have left their mark on generations of jazz pianists. A former member of the John Coltrane Quartet with four Grammy Awards and nearly 80 albums to his name, his sophisticated blues-based style shaped modern jazz and has become one of the most identifiable sounds in improvised music.

Always expanding his vision of the musical landscape and incorporating new elements, whether from distant continents or diverse musical influences, he has collaborated with artists as varied as Derek Trucks, Béla Fleck, and Savion Glover.
