McCoy Tyner: McCoy Tyner With Stanley Clarke And Al Foster
by Jim Santella
The piano trio performs standards at one end of the small dining room while you and your companion sip champagne at a nearby table. It’s a cool jazz session from an acoustic trio. Certainly relaxed and enjoyable, this evening wears a graceful posture but refuses to serve you subtle fire or strong emotion. It’s a far ...
McCoy Tyner: With Stanley Clarke And Al Foster
by Mark Corroto
One cannot think of McCoy Tyner and not recall John Coltrane’s classic quartet.

McCoy Tyner: Together
by AAJ Staff
As he approaches 60, McCoy Tyner continues to be one of jazz's greatest living pianists. But it's a different kind of greatness from the McCoy of the 1960s and 1970s--who was (generally speaking) a more radical and risk-taking player than the standards-oriented and less adventurous (though still highly enjoyable) Tyner of today. Recorded in 1978 and ...
