Certainly in the conversation for best ever jazz pianist with the likes of Ellington, Monk and Hancock.

Spinning the Real McCoy right now and it's simply fantastic.

RIP.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

Expansions is a classic, a great showcase for Tyner's sound.

Coltrane's classic quartet is all jammin in the afterlife now.

A Love Supreme is one of the books of my bible. I study it regularly. Tyner is in my soul from that album alone. So much more from him I need to learn, but so much I've already taken in.
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Words can't really describe how deep this album goes.

A masterpiece.

Dude was a monster

I saw him about 5 times, both in Cambridge MA and the Blue Note in NY. Always great. He just pounded those keys, played piano with the same intensity that Trane played tenor

memorable "side men" I saw were Michael Brecker, Billy Cobham, and a special appearance by Savion Glover at McCoy's 70th birthday celebration

Tranes great quartet is reunited

RIP

This one is heavy.
I love every piece of music I've heard him create or contribute to .
RIP

One of the first jazz cds I bought in college back in the day was The John Coltrane Quartet - Africa/Brass.  The alternate take of Greensleeves has long been a favorite.  RIP McCoy.
