awesome, rich! i just happily bought two of the missing mccoy records from my impulse catalog yesterday. i lost out on the rarest, an am-par mono of "reaching fourth" but that's okay. there will be others.
who are his sidemen? i have never been the biggest fan of his solo material. i like reaching fourth a lot, and some generous seller sent me a milestone album of his from the early 80's where he plays celeste that is... interesting. but i love how he supported trane, so i would love to know who he chooses to play with these days.
i've not seen many of my heroes. i want to see lou donaldson one of these days. i've seen pharoah sanders and billy harper, who were both awesome.

All I know is Gary Bartz will be there, so I'm hoping they'll get into Trane's material.

Bartz and Tyner sounds like a fascinating combination. I'm going to see Wayne Shorter with Wynton Marsalis and the LJC orchestra in London in February, so that promises to be a good night out.

bartz and tyner sounds very good! marsalis? sigh. i could rant on and on about the frustrations i have with him, but i'll just say i hope he gives a nice show and you enjoy yourself.  |

My reason for going is to see Shorter, who knows how many more times he'll come to the UK? As long as Marsalis defers to Shorter as the main attraction, I'll be happy.

Well the Tyner show was fun. Tyner's an old fella now, he had to be helped to the stage. Though his right hand wasn't nearly as active as it was when he was younger, his left hand was coming up really high and stomping down on the keys with pinpoint precision. Bartz was lively, and the drummer and bassist were spectacular, all taking impressive solos at one point or another. The performance was about an hour. Tyner played a solo of "Old Devil Moon" and the band also played "Blues on the Corner" (The Real McCoy) after Tyner introduced it by explaining that it was written for his street-running friends in Philadelphia. I wasn't a huge fan of the layout and atmosphere of the Blue Note club, but the sound was good and my friends and I sat about 25 feet from Tyner on his side of the stage.
