Tracklist
McCoy Tyner
It would be difficult to overstate McCoy Tyner's impact on the last three decades of jazz piano, first as a member of the classic Coltrane quartet in the 1960s, and later as a leader. His thundering bass tremolos, floating quartal harmonies, and blistering pentatonic runs have become part of the lingua franca of jazz piano. Tyner's recordings have skilfully blended elements of African and Asian music with the European classical tradition, but in 1997 he surprised the jazz world with a Burt Bacharach covers album. By 2000 he had returned to form with the aptly-titled JAZZ ROOTS.
