Youtube and Apple music McCoy Tyner Playlist s With Abstract Rhythm in Time DigitalART by Alan silva

EDITORS’ NOTES While he'll forever be associated with the Coltrane quartet of My Favorite Things, McCoy Tyner recorded several influential albums on his own. His music collected global flavors from Brazil ("Blue Bossa") and Cuba ("Effendi") alongside powerful big-band masterpieces like "Native Song." But Tyner's powerful soloing will amaze you wherever he touches down. EDITORS’ NOTES McCoy Tyner is one of an illustrious handful of pianists who profoundly altered the course of jazz. He expanded on the post-bop innovations of people like Bill Evans and helped create a new harmonic language linking bop with more avant-garde ideas. Tyner may be most widely known for contributing to John Coltrane's game-changing discography, but the rest of his output overflows with thrilling explorations as well, both as a sideman and a solo artist. John Coltrane's classic quartet of the mid-'60s leaned heavily on McCoy Tyner's rich harmonic imagination and his ability to conjure contemplative moods while keeping the energy high. On albums like A Love Supreme, Tyner's piano accompaniment gave essential support to the saxophonist's most impassioned solos. But Tyner also excelled on lighthearted fare, as on the delicate, swinging sound of Kenny Dorham's composition “Blue Bossa.” EDITORS’ NOTES Tyner never discarded the skills he developed while playing alongside John Coltrane, revisiting classic tunes from their mutual playbook on his later albums, like Echoes of a Friend. But Tyner also pushed ahead with new material after leaving the saxophonist's group, writing sprightly originals on The Real McCoy and exploring large-ensemble arrangements on Song of the New World.
