Remembering McCoy Tyner... R.I.P. ஆܔAlfred McCoy Tyner (Dec 11, 1938 – Mar 6, 2020) was an American jazz pianist known for his work with the John Coltrane Quartet and a long solo career. He was an NEA Jazz Master and a five-time Grammy winner. Not a player of electric keyboards and synthesizers, he was committed to acoustic instrumentation. Tyner, who was widely imitated, was one of the most recognizable and most influential pianists in jazz history.He recorded the pianist's composition "The Believer" on January 10, 1958: it became the title track of Prestige's 1964 album The Believer issued as a John Coltrane record. He played on Coltrane's My Favorite Things (1961) for Atlantic. The band toured almost non-stop between 1961 and 1965. Tyner was named a 2002 NEA Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts. He won five Grammy Awards, for The Turning Point and Journey and best instrumental jazz album for Illuminations, Infinity, and Blues for Coltrane: A Tribute to John Coltrane. Tyner was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music at the Sala dei Notari during the Umbria Jazz Festival.
