Pianist McCoy Tyner was best known for his work with John Coltrane as part of his classic early-’60s quartet, but has also played with Sonny Rollins, Stanley Clarke, Wayne Shorter, and more. His influence as a pianist and musician is hard to overstate. He died at age 81. NPR describes him as a "pianist whose deep resonance, hammering attack and sublime harmonic invention made him a game-changing catalyst in jazz and beyond". Listen Tyner play on John Coltrane epic 'A Love Supreme' below.
