They take their jazz pretty seriously in Hamburg. I was reading somewhere they have a radio station dedicated to playing only artists that are playing in the city so it's a chance to hear a lot of stuff and then see the artist live. Don't think I've ever heard anything Tyner did that wasn't first rate. With that little ponytail he's a piana Ninja.
This fabulous musician played this song with Coltrane a lot.Today he plays with the song like a kid with a toy.He has fun.He does what he wants to do.He was selected by the best musician I've seen in my life to play with him.That's all.Regards from Rio de janeiro/Brazil.
I agree with everyone. I add just one thing: music exist in Africa long time ago before european music.If you listen to "in the ginza" ,"the egyptian" by Art blackey's band with Lee morgan & john Gilmore,sound as pygmies music.For the history, check out right here on YT, "pygmy dancers",pygmies dance jazz", "the nuba people" & also "joseph boulogne" a french black classical musician who is older than mozart.
listen no matter how much you don't want to admit it although black don't own jazz they created the music.Just as whites created classical.But music is music and anyone can play.
americans do appreciate jazz. we're just going through a phase where a lot of people only appreciate what's on mtv and ignore everything else. we'll get over it.
Actually Being an ethnomusigologist I understand that Ancient Balofon and Gyil and guitar banfori and marmba musicians from west Africa mostly used mixolodian,Dorian and pentatonic scales before jazz came about.
ONLY 28 ratings and ONLY 4 stars average ,I can t believe it!!This is an exhaustive use of all the best things that happened in music ,kind of 300 years 'research outcome !!
"Americans" don't appreciate Jazz because before we appreciate anything we need to give it time and effort and unfortunatly in America everything has to be quick and ready even in music, food, information, politics..etc..etc and it's wanted this way to keep the brain on vacation so the beast can be controlled easy. God bless America the land of the free. Peace.
Only because peterson is dead. Don't kid yourself and try to compare the two because peterson is definitely one of the best pianists that ever lived. His left hand is almost equal to his right in terms of dexterity, it's hard to say the same for tyner.
True. Most Americans (Which I am) will say I like Jazz, but you put on some modal Jazz or Bop they'll hate it. Because there always expecting Jazz to be some swing or big band.
Sad thing. I too would enjoy watching him live, he's one of the few giants left. About the arguments above, if you disagree on the fact that jazz is mostly a black man's music, you gotta either be blind or dumb. Even though it might have latin and/or european influences, almost all of the major players, definers and innovators were black. I mean, wtf...? Are you trying to impress us with your peculiar opinions? ougk
McCoy is completely underestimated. I wish more people listened to albums like Sahara and The Real McCoy. It really sucks that other Americans would rather listen to boasting rap singers.
@Superphilipp Awright Evans and Monk pianists as McCoy. I grant you that he can't overshadow those two! But why compare him to he rest in your list! Bird - alto, Brownie trumpet. Paul Desmond stands out as a minor figure by comparison to the rest, although a great alto, he doesn't fit in!
McCoys approach was totally different than Bill's or Monks. You can't really compare them. His technique was more sofisticated because of the modal basis of his playing. I feel he was a better more lyrical and melodic accompaniment Pianst also. Certainly played with greater left hand and approach was note percussive than Evans and actually evolved what Monk was doing. Keyboard speed was unmatched. Definitely in the top 6 or 7 of Jazz pianists
Yea thats a shame, especially considering we invented it. Is jazz really that big in the rest of the world though, with the youth? I really hope it is.
This should not be made into a racial argument. Music is influenced from everywhere. Without African music, rhythm would be a joke, and without European music, harmonies would be nonexistent. Also, jazz is an aquired taste. I just recently got into it, but only after taking the time to really listen. And McCoy totally kicked ass with that.
Peterson has better (cleaner) technique...but McCoy changed the way the music sounded. Oscar didn't do a thing to move the music forward, he just used the vocabulary well and fast~
Gettinghit...Not only music. I saw a newspaper that attributed the earliest writings in this hemisphere to the Olmecs. They didn't show the features of the gigantic stone heads in Mexico which are thousands of years old.Look at them and figure out why.under Olmec civilization online. guess what it's part of a coverup by mis-identifying the origins of them.
It s years now that I try to find out when he started to play ugly With Coltrane he was OK later the quartet too. But now all these NON AT ALL grooving chords and riffs almost like Lenny Ttristano I think the public hyjacked him and he doesn't dare swinging in the old way. Therefore also His so bored Face all the time like a boy doying his Tatum / Liberace "finger excercises" He doen't like what he does.
He's fast. That's about all I can say in favour, I'm unimpressed with the music of this. Mr. PC is a nice enough track, somewhat butchered by the 'speed jazz' element here.
McCoy！
また、日本に来てほしかったな、もうすぐ命日ですね。
大好き❤️
Powerful, lyrical, brilliant; McCoy can take my breath away by the end.
.
amazing!!!!! one of my all-time favorite pianists ever! love McCoy!

From the first time I heard him play McCoy Tyner has amazed me with his playing.
Fantasic music, wonderful player, thank god for this...................
As times goes by,better and better and better and better...WOW!!!!!!!!!!
McCoy's playing is pure, unadulterated hip
this guy has only gotten better with the years you can truly hear his advance in style and technique
love the dynamic control
My all time favorite...RIP
Ain't nobody else can play it like that!
Elegance... Plain and simple.
R.I.P. McCoy!
YEAAHHHH!!! Thanks for sharing- Awesome!
Whoa...!

Sadly, people don't appreciate jazz anymore (well, only a few do).
McCoy Tyner is the best.
@driedstr
Right! But he has so much more!
He's INSANE.
real living legend
...I can't play like that...
MUST LEARN HOW!
MUST MASTER!
listen no matter how much you don't want to admit it although black don't own jazz they created the music.Just as whites created classical.But music is music and anyone can play.

Americans Do Appreciate Jazz, Sadly not all Americans, but Americans do appreciate, especially those African Americans who truly invented it
@FunkySkunk90
he's basically playing and improvising through this song as if it was nothing, :O
lease check out mcoys solo albums from 1990's ish.....these changed my life ....one being solioquoy
oh my god!...

Peace.
This goes to everybody here... you could probably end this discussion by providing some sources to back up any one of your points?
Just saying...
genius
Fucking Amazing!!!

mccoy is the reason i took up piano
this guy has two brains
i hear hes not doing so good anymore. dementia i believe. I hope im blessed to see him perform before he leaves.
True. Most Americans (Which I am) will say I like Jazz, but you put on some modal Jazz or Bop they'll hate it. Because there always expecting Jazz to be some swing or big band.
des drops à toutes les sauces, des pentas en veux tu en voila: c'est bon pour travailler ça!!!
Kennt einer den Klub, in dem das aufgenommen wurde? / Does anyone know the club where this track was recorded at?
@gigijazzygirl or maybe they just find it annoying that the sound doesn't fit the video.. don't tell people what "real music" is
Do your homework sunderlanding."Jazz is an extension out of our african roots'a quote by pianist clarence william.
Paul Chambers

Bird, Monk, Bill Evans, Desmond and Clifford Brown beg to differ.
McCoy is completely underestimated. I wish more people listened to albums like Sahara and The Real McCoy. It really sucks that other Americans would rather listen to boasting rap singers.
tatum,Monk,tyner Remember that
@germzneverdie two brains and for hands : )
he's still not playing rhythm changes. he stretches the blues form, but it's definitely a blues.
The final at 3:42

they created blues which made jazz, rock, soul, r&b, etc., but what about classical music? they didn't create that
listen no matter how much you don't want to admit it although black don't own jazz they created the music.Just as whites created classical.

If you think about it, the African Americans invented all of the music in western civilization in general.
Clark Terry: "A note don't care who blows it, no matter if you're white, black, purple or opaque." Grow up, guys.
his style changed...get over it~
Peterson has better (cleaner) technique...but McCoy changed the way the music sounded. Oscar didn't do a thing to move the music forward, he just used the vocabulary well and fast~
@whykatera81
Get the story straight. McCoy had a stroke a few years ago. I hear he's doing better and sounding great...
@loombaron man if tyner had a light face you would write him off as a cold player hahaha. dont confine music with petty boxes like race
no that isn't true.
Gettinghit...Not only music. I saw a newspaper that attributed the earliest writings in this hemisphere to the Olmecs. They didn't show the features of the gigantic stone heads in Mexico which are thousands of years old.Look at them and figure out why.under Olmec civilization online. guess what it's part of a coverup by mis-identifying the origins of them.
@elvind222
Bach? NOT!!! Bach did improvise but he can not take credit as the first jazz musician. Black people started jazz...
orginal with coltran ist better
awesome, but a little too bangy for my liking
That's what attracted me to his music. A style unlike any other pianist
It s years now that I try to
find out when he started to play ugly
With Coltrane he was OK later the quartet too.
But now all these NON AT ALL grooving
chords and riffs almost like Lenny Ttristano
I think the public hyjacked him and he doesn't dare
swinging in the old way.
Therefore also His so bored Face all the time like a boy
doying his Tatum / Liberace "finger excercises"
He doen't like what he does.
Great performance. Too bad the video is maddeningly out-of-synch. . . . and I have no clue what the Mesoamerican Olmecs have to do with this.
You guys are all making yourselves sound dumb ENJOY THE MUSIC
so bad
He's fast. That's about all I can say in favour, I'm unimpressed with the music of this. Mr. PC is a nice enough track, somewhat butchered by the 'speed jazz' element here.
