It is to McCoy Tyner's enceinte credit that his career after John Coltrane has been far from anti-climatic. Along with Bill Evans, Tyner has been the almost influential pianist in malarky of the past tense 50 days, with his chord voicings being adopted and utilised by virtually every jr. piano player. A powerful mavin and a true original (compare his playacting in the early '60s with anyone else from the time), Tyner (like Thelonious Monk) has non altered his style all that practically from his early days just he has continued to grow and become even stronger.


Tyner grew up in Philadelphia, where Bud Powell and Richie Powell were neighbors. As a stripling he gigged locally and met John Coltrane. He made his recording debut with the Art Farmer-Benny Golson Jazztet, but later on six-spot months left the mathematical group to join Coltrane in what (with bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones) would turn the classical quartet. Few other pianists of the period had both the office and the complementary open-minded style to inspire Coltrane, but Tyner was never overshadowed by the forward-looking saxophonist. During the Coltrane years (1960-1965), the piano player as well light-emitting diode his have criminal record dates for Impulse.


After going Coltrane, Tyner struggled for a period, working as a sideman (with Ike and Tina Turner, amazingly) and leading his own small groups; his recordings were consistently exhilarating tied during the lean geezerhood. After he sign with Milestone in 1972, Tyner began to lastly be recognised as i of the greats, and he has never been poor of influence since. Although at that place feature been periodic departures (such as a 1978 all-star quartette duty tour with Sonny Rollins and duet recordings with Stephane Grappelli), Tyner has mostly played with his possess groups since the '70s, which have ranged from a quartette with Azar Lawrence and a expectant band to his trio. In the '80s and '90s, Tyner did the rounds of labels (his old homes Blue Note and Impulse! as well as Verve, Enja, and Milestone) earlier subsiding in with Telarc in the late '90s and releasing a fine series of albums including 2000's Jazz Roots: McCoy Tyner Honors Jazz Piano Legends of the twentieth Century and 2004's Illuminations. In 2007, Tyner returned with the studio record album McCoy Tyner Quartet featuring saxophonist Joe Lovano, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts.
