by Dr. Matthew Warnock
The year 1960 found two of jazz’s rising stars in a moment of flux. After finding world-wide recognition for his contribution to the classic Miles Davis quintets of the late 1950s, and experimenting with different lineups for his own group, saxophonist John Coltrane was in search of a new quartet to help propel his music into a new and ground-breaking direction. At the same time, pianist McCoy Tyner, then a member of Benny Golson and Art Farmer’s famous Jazztet, was also looking for a new group of musicians to help him explore the post Kind of Blue music that was drawing his attention as a composer and improviser.

POST # 174 McCoy Tyner on Jazz Guitar
guitareureka.blogspot.com 9/7/2009 — "Every instrument seems to have a prophet, like Coltrane was to tenor-we're talking modern stuff, although you can't get any deeper on an instrument than Lester Young. But Wes seemed to lay the guitar out like Bird did on alto. Certain people seem to be able to show the symmetry of the ...
POST #034 Bill Frisell on McCoy Tyner and Originality
guitareureka.blogspot.com 4/16/2009 — “He would go away from the basic harmony, but in such a powerful way that there was no question about it, he just developed his own language. The most important thing was the inspiration in discovering that it was possible to find your own way of doing things. For me, that is the part of jazz, ...

Inside a mode, you don’t have a dominant seventh chord that implies the key you are in, so the root is less fixed….One ...

He didn’t have to. It was a natural thing. He could hear anything. Whomever I am playing with, we have to come together. That means ...
