21:00 Session by Oliver Kent The McCoy Tyner Songbook


This session will focus on the works of pianist McCoy Tyner. Tyner, a trail blazer for modal playing, underwent an enormous stylistic transformation, beginning with his work with the early Coltrane quartet and continuing on through his collaboration with Michael Brecker. As composer and style-setter, he has had an influence on every modern pianist and his charts definitely should be included in the Porgy & Bess Realbook, especially since Oliver Kent is reputed to have particularly discriminating ears. The charts will be on hand in P&B two weeks before this session. MR
