Rest in Power, Rest in Peace.
Rest in Power, Rest in Peace.
Mar 7, 2020

McCoy Tyner, distinctively brilliant and an enormous influence on most jazz pianists. The sound is vast, expansive and undeniably McCoy. From the roar and thunder to the immense block of chords to the left, to the left. From the classic quartet with Trane, duets with Hutch, and many momentous albums as a leader, McCoy Tyner is the definition. The vibrations will live in our hearts and call us to days of past each time we are presented with the immaculate and pristine sound that emanates from his soul, out in the universe and into our being. An intricate part of our lives, gone but a spirit that live within us for all days. The one and only McCoy Tyner. Rest in Power, Rest in Peace.
