“He would go away from the basic harmony, but in such a powerful way that there was no question about it, he just developed his own language. The most important thing was the inspiration in discovering that it was possible to find your own way of doing things. For me, that is the part of jazz, or music in general, that you strive for. You take hat’s around you and try to find your own way.” – Bill Frisell on McCoy Tyner
(There's a difference between an Artist and a Craftsman. How do you strive for something new to say? Just love the way McCoy Tyner have so much variation in his solo in the video...George Benson can't help but having a huge grin during McCoy's solo, he's hardly even comping behind McCoy, just lapping it all up! - Ed)
