We have to keep the music alive! I’m happy to share this full concert recording only broadcasted once on Dutch television. This was my first McCoy Tyner concert to attend live and I was completely blown away by it. Recorded on S-VHS tape so I happily spent a few days restoring and optimizing the audio :-)
I think this entire concert is genius, but please note this version of Where is Love. Just after McCoy started his intro (27:30) for some reason Michael Brecker walks from stage. McCoy, not fully aware of this, suddenly finds that Michael is no longer there to play the melody (29:04). At this moment I'm completely caught up in how this will go on and a little surprised McCoy extends his intro.
Of course the intro has to come to an end now, the surprise for McCoy remains and he asks Avery if he wants to go solo, but he says “no”. The melody starts and what McCoy plays at 30:54 is in my opinion like an unconscious reflex of one of the greatest pianist of all time. For McCoy, playing the piano is like walking, largely subconscious. This allows him to be focused unimpeded on his feeling and expression thereof without technical limitations.
Then Michael returns (31:12) and McCoy smoothly switches back to accompanying, just as easy but refined. Having seen McCoy Tyner live, will remain incredible memories.
Enjoy!
Happy 85th birthday McCoy Tyner! There will never be another like you!
You've said an OCEAN'S WORTH .... and MORE!!!!!!🤗💖🤩😎🌠🎼🎹
McCoy Tyner carried the spirit of John Coltrane, and has long been an inspiration to me as a pianist. Michael Brecker, another giant of jazz (and he's not even black!) R.I.P. both of these special souls.
He's not even black...he was the white Coltrane...I'm bummed they don't have FlyingHigh on this....
It is such a blessing to have these musical giants in my musical life.
It was an even greater blessing to have seen them at various times in my lifetime.
By the time Brecker was ready for Tyner, they fit like a glove and blew the doors off everything they played.
Brecker is absolutely insane 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️what a freaking genius
I heard of McCoy Tyner when I saw Him play with John Coltrane and I heard Him on Ramsey Lewis Radio Show and I was HOOKED! I also had the rare opportunity to hear Him live in Cleveland and I was just in awe; There will never be another McCoy Tyner He was just that FABULOUS ❤
what year did you see him play with coltrane?
@@ericwaters8141 I saw Him in a video.
The masters at work
Yes Sir
the best american jazzgroup that toured Europe in the 90 ties!. sorry about the loss of the two front guys- RIP I love McCoys left hand and Brecker was a creative genious and his abilities on the horn were outstanding olav bøe norway
Speechless. Michael and McCoy…. This is the kind of recording that will share its secrets many decades into the future.. if music keeps growing
Musical rythm is the soul of humanity. So long as we keep our Musical rythm, we will always be unique throughout evolution
A performance for the ages - pre and post history. The very best of humanity.
Brecker's solo on Mellow Minor is one of those sensational "take you on a ride" things that I just love from him.
👏🏾👏🏾

マッコイタイナーとマイケルブレッカー。この動画と同じ頃に、別々ではあるがブルーノート東京でライブを見た事があった。二人とも亡くなってしまったが、懐かしい思い出だ。
What a gift. Thanks for sharing.
Great acoustics... Brecker's tone, wow!
Amazing Bassist!
There are levels to this game and then there’s McCoy Brecker levels
From the first breath.
L'accord parfait entre McCoy et Breckerqui est vraiment en forme
Wow!!!! First time seeing this video. Wow!!! My life has been blessed by seeing both McCoy and Michael live at two separate venues. A truly major highlight in my life. Great video.
Fantastic! Better sound quality than the recording of the same lineup at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1998.
im speechless.. those are monsters
Michael in Trane Heaven.
Tyner is timeless!
Incredible team! 2 much energy, inspiring! insightful
SENSACIONAL ♥️

About the comment " Just after McCoy started his intro (27:30) for some reason Michael Brecker walks from stage. McCoy, not fully aware of this, suddenly finds that Michael is no longer there to play the melody..",
clearly at 27:25 Brecker is ready to go, far before Mc Toy Tyner had begun to play, Brecker was a great professionnal, not a lunatic man on stage. At this level everything is planned.
Never think that Uncle is unaware of what's going on at any particular time on stage!!! He's always Mindful ..... as for Michael, have You thought that this was purposeful so he could do whatever was necessary to cool himself?
Just beautiful! Beautiful music!
Simpatico, the word has real application and here it is.
WOW Michael Brecker!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this treasure. 🙏
Aiming for a higher love
Unbelievable
WOW!!!!
Thanks for sharing🎶

Tremendo!
Genious !!!
Avery!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Lando Calrisian on the piano, folks
Whos the bassist awesomeeee❤
Becker is surely an amazing saxophone player and a musician of great knowledge. I tried to enjoy his playing - but so far could not connect. Maybe he’s too skilled for my taste
Who was playing drums and Bass ?
Where oh where oh where is the melody? :-) haha
For me, the pairing of McCoy Tyner with Michael Brecker is the perfect combination. Tyner's earlier collaboration with Joe Henderson didn't work too well. That is because Tyner was a far nore advanced musician than Henderson.
Specifically, Tyner often makes rapid chromatic alterations and plays 'outside' the tonal centre - Joe Henderson had no clue how this was done, whereas for Michale Brecker playing 'outside' is as natural as breathing.
I daresay non-jazz players will not understand what is meant by this, but any musicians who are well versed in modern and contemprary jazz will know precisely what I'm talking about here.
Whilst in some respects a liking for certain music and musicians is merely a matter of personal taste, from the POV of anyone who knows how to analyse music, there are some very clear means by which to evaluate the quality of someone's playing and their improvisational abilities.
So, yes Coltrane and Tyner made a great team together, but for me Brecker brings an even more fruitful, coherent and complete package to the table which in combination with Tyner represents the pinnacle of post-bop musicianship.
I love all the players but not the music
Not a fan of the Brecker ego. He must realize he is the least of the masters here. How in the he you gonna out play The Maestro with just technique. Ya gotta stay in a humble spirit.
Huh? He is just being himself. You ever meet Michael Brecker? He’s as humble as they come. You’re confusing technique with ego. They aren’t the same thing.
Albert, McCoy said in an interview that Brecker is the modern version of Coltrane. Brecker was as humble as they come. Listen to the Brecker brothers in Spain concert. His solo on skunk funk is god like. Different than anything coltrane, bird, potter, ever could come close to.
Without the shoulders of the likes of Bird, John Coltrane, Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus and many others to stand on, Michael Brecker woud have played- what? You suppose MB would have invented/developed Bebop, Hard Bop and Modal Jazz single handedly?
In music as well as in the field of engineering, there are many who perfected things, but few who came up with original ideas.
Brecker for my taste much to often goes on a tour de force, showing off his prowess. He just knew he was too late to be a real innovator, so he aimed to be the perfectionist. I'm simplifying of course, but hey, this is just a comment on youtube after all. To each his own. I'm perfectly fine with you praying to Brecker.
