I saw McCoy Tyner at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles maybe 25 years ago. And through the set, his steady chord based rhythms moved the music to great, great heights. And I thought – “these are the same chunks of keys that lifted Coltrane, from then to now, ring ring – ring, to a love supreme.” That night, on the stage was a true life lesson: This is how to play together as a band or as a people. Thank you for that night and for a supreme love, Mr. Tyner! – CL
