I met McCoy Tyner, once upon a time. Nice guy, really laid back.

This is my favourite recording of him, with the late Michael Brecker:

I saw McCoy at a small jazz setting in the North Park Hotel on Clark Street on Chicago’s near north side. His Chinese wife was taking money at a table set up at the door. I think it was about 1971. Unique style, true passion, like his partner Trane.

Impeccable player. I was lucky enough to see him perform at the World Financial Center, in that beautiful atrium. He had John Blake on violin. It was just magical

[Mr. Mojo]

I saw him about 20 years after you did at the Catalina Bar and Grill in L.A. Just 3 pieces -- piano, bass, drums. Tyner has such a tremendous sense of rhythm. Wish I could've seen the JC quartet.

McCoy Tyner’s solos usually held my full attention, and then some. Made me stretch.
