Approaching Standards
Monday July 4th, 2011 with Bill Krause
The Real McCoy (Part 2)

Today we’re going to feature one of the all-time great jazz pianist. His style of piano is easily recognizable. His playing is distinguished by a low bass left hand, with a powerful emphatic attack. His unique right-hand soloing is known for its staccato, quality. His melodic vocabulary is rich, ranging from raw blues to complexly superimposed pentatonic scales; his unique approach to chord voicing has influenced a wide array of contemporary jazz pianists. Today McCoy Tyner is considered to be one of the most influential jazz pianists of the 20th Century.
