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