McCoy Tyner: Inception

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

This was McCoy's first release as band leader. Heretofore, McCoy had made his name primarily as a part of Art Farmer's Jazztet and John Coltrane's Quartet, where he occupied the piano bench from 1961 - 1965.

McCoy is easily my favorite piano player - his style just gets me...he bangs out some heavy ass chords with the left hand and plays the most amazing runs with the right...really explosive, especially in his post-Coltrane work, which I will get to in future posts.

In the meantime, enjoy this download...
