Here's a live track from almost 30 years ago. I'd like to think that even folks who don't usually cotton to jazz might enjoy this, and hear the muscular power in it. I spent a lot of my apprentice hours listening to and sometimes jamming (badly) along to McCoy Tyner's recordings from this period:

Totally enjoy it. If you can do jazz you can do anything.
30 years is fairly current to me. I had a conversation with [insert name drop here] and he told me the story of why he had a house and family in Queens, fished in Montauk, but spent most of his time in Europe; there was no commensurate income in NYC at the time.
How sad is that? The US chased a lot of good musicians overseas but bless these days when music unites and musicians are appreciated at home regardless of genre.

I was fortunate enough to have seen McCoy Tyner live at a jazz club in Redondo Beach, CA. It brought me to tears at one point it was so intense. I'll never forget that experience of being so moved. Thanks for posting this!

Reminds me of the first time I heard Levy. I did not like it. Now, I can appreciate the stuff Howard does and really enjoy listening to him. Maybe with time.

When I read that thread title, this is what I was expecting:
While I can appreciate the virtuosity of McCoy Tyner (I'd never heard of him, so thanks for exposing him to me), it didn't strike me as something I could really listen to for very long (and I fully admit that I didn't). Now, Satchmo? Bix Beiderbeck? King Oliver? That's some Jazz I can listen to all day...
