A Birthday Celebration of McCoy Tyner
Hosted by Frank Consola
Tune in to 88 Jazz Place as Frank celebrates the birthday of American jazz pianist and composer McCoy Tyner, featuring his music throughout the program. Dean Tynor, McCoy’s son joins the program by phone at 10:30am to share stories of his father.
McCoy Tynor is well known for his work with the John Coltrane Quartet (from 1960 to 1965) and his long solo career afterwards. He was an NEA Jazz Master and five-time Grammy award winner. Unlike many of the jazz keyboardists of his generation, Tyner very rarely incorporated electric keyboards or synthesizers into his work. Tyner has been widely imitated and is one of the most recognizable and influential jazz pianists of all time.
