BIOGRAPHY
McCoy Tyner Í i rst exploded on the scene as a part of John Coltrane's early '6Os quartet,
certainly one of the most innovat ive and inf luent ial groups in jazz history. Over the past decade
he's carved a most impressive niche for himself as a composer, arranger, band leader and most
signi f icant ly a pianist whose unique and forceful style has inspired and inf luenced a whole new
genera t ion o f mus ic ians . H is impact on the mus ic o f the '70s and 'BOs and cont inu ing th rough the
'90s is comparable to Coltrane's on the music of the '60s.
McCoy was born in Ph i lade lphra on December 11 , 1938, the o ldes t o f th ree ch i ld ren . He was
encouraged to study piano by his mother. He Í inal ly began studying the piano at age 13 and
within two years, music had become the focal point in his l i fe.
In the beginning McCoy pract iced on a neighbor 's piano. When his family bought one, he
began host ing jam sessions. Among his fr iends and neighbors were a number of young musicians
who would go on to make their marks in jazz, such as trumpeter Lee Morgan, saxophonist Archie
Shepp, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Reggie Workman. "Bud and Richie Powel l moved into
my neighborhood. Bud was a major inf luence on me during my early teens. He was very
dynamic." In addit ion, Thelonious Mond and Art Tatum were young McCoy's major inf luences.
McCoy, obviously a very fast learner, at age 1 5 led his first band, a 7 piece band that played
the rhythm and blues hi ts. He studied at the West Phi iadelphia Music School and later at Granoff
Music School, also in Phi ladelphia where he learned theory and harmony. At age 17, whi le
playing at a local c lub cal led the Red Rooster, with a band led by trumpeter Cal Massey, also
known to few close friends as "Folks", he first met.John Coltrane.
Coltrane was in Phi ladelphia between gigs with Mi les Davis. The saxophonist , whose
dist inct ive style was st i l l in i ts formative stages and whose reputat ion was on the r ise, had no
working group of his own, but secured a few engagements in and around Phi ladelphia, with
McCoy often in his rhythm section.
McCoy later recal led that Coltrane hadn't developed the way he would later on, but "aÍter I
heard him play, I knew he was someone exceptional." The rapport between the two was so
apparent, that Coltrane made i t c lear that he hoped to eventual ly have a regular band with McCoy
Tyner in i t .
In 1959 McCoy, who had been work ing main ly in and around Ph i lade lph ia , wasof fe red h is
Í i rst ful l - t ime job in music with the Jazztet, a group co-led by Art Farmer and Benny Golson.
McCoy stayed with the group 6 months, long enough to make his recording debut on the album
Meet The Jazztet, but left when Coltrane íinally left Miles Davis to form his own group.
*É:,8;
#
The chemistry between Coltrane, Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones was immediately apparent.
Coltrane went through a number of bassists beíore sett l ing on Jimmy Garr ison. That chemistry can
be heard on the group's f i rst recordings for At lant ic Records in 1960, which include the classic, "My
Favori te Things." Coltrane was searching Íor ways to extend the boundaries of jazz, including a
denser harmonic structure, a mult i - layered approach to rhythm, and a greater rel iance on scales
and modes as a basis for improvisat ion, and McCoy was r ight there with him.
The pianist part ic ipated in numerous histor ical recording sessions with Coltrane, including
Africa Brass, A Love Supreme, and Áscension, to name a few, during his six year tenure with the
quartet. He also began recording on his own, occasional ly in a tr io context (his Í i rst album was
lnceptÍon, recorded in 1962 for lmpulse, which had become Coltrane's label) , and tended roward
a somewhat more melodic and conservat ive approach than he displayed in the context of
Coltrane's group.
As close as his musical relationship with Coltrane was, it was inevitable that Mccoy would
eventually want to form his own group. His split from his mentor, which was an amicable one, was
hastened by the fact that Coltrane, whose music was moving in an increasingly free-form direction,
had added a second saxophonist (Pharoah Sanders) and a second drummer (Rashid Ali). McCoy was
simply having difÍiculty hearing himself play.
Unfortunately, for the next few years, he encountered di f f icul ty making a l iv ing playing his
music. He cont inued to record as a leader, making a ser ies of impressive albums for the Blue Note
label, and he worked as a sideman with the great Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers. lt took
McCoy several years to establish himselÍ as a leader.
In 1971 McCoy signed a recording contract with Milestone Records, at which time things began
to improve. His first album for the label. Sahara, released the following year, received two Grammy
nominat ionsand was named "Album Of TheYear" inthe Down BeatCri t ics Pol l . Subsequent Lp'sÍor
the label found him strelching out in a wide variety oÍ musical contexts. He recorded with strings,
with large horn sections, with voices; with all-star ensembles, with tightly-knit trios, and solo; in
clubs, in concert, and in the studio. In '78 he teamed with Sonny Rollins, Ron Carter and Al Foster ro
tour the U.S. as the Milestone Jazzstars. The tour, documented on a live double Lp set, was one of the
most extensively-promoted eyerby an acoustic jazz ensemble.
Throughout the'70s, his art and inf luence ccnt inued to grow. His readi ly ident i f iable piano
style - forceful , percussive, dense, but also capable oí tender lyr ic ism - came more clear ly into
focus. 5o did his inf luence; there are few jazz pianists on the scene today, including the veterans,
whose styles have not in some way been touched by his. This inf luence has been fel t also in the
contr ibut ions of the many outstanding musicians who have gained valuable school ing as members
of his band, such as the late !íoody Shaw, Sonny Fortune, Alphonse Mouzon, Azar Lawrence, Gary
Bartz, George Adams, Joe Ford, John Blake, Benny Maupin, and Gui l lherme Franco to name a Íew.
McCoy's dedication to the acoustic piano and reÍusal to convert to electricity has been an
inspiration to many.
The worldwide awards and accolades are too numerous to list. SuÍfice to say that he rs
recognized by musicians, cr j t ics and l isteners al ike as a major force of the'60s, '70s, 'BOs and now
