Pianist/composer McCoy Tyner (born December 11, 1938) was the youngest member of the earth-shattering John Coltrane Quartet and went on to be a major innovator on his instrument, influencing a whole generation of pianists with his rhythmic and harmonically dense approach to the instrument. He has been recognized with an NEA jazz master award and five Grammy awards. His music is as important in many ways as Coltrane's, and his musical vocabulary has touched virtually every musician that's come after him. Enjoying the show? Help keep it going by donating here.

Frankly, I wasn't completely sure what this episode would become until I finished producing it. Speaking of anniversaries, we have one in December that's a bit more recent and much happier if you like radio drama. Next time on Breaking Walls, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of The Zero Hour's debut on the Mutual Broadcasting System, we spotlight the rebirth of radio drama in 1973.

Bienvenidos amantes de la música, McCoy Tyner fue miembro quizá del cuarteto más célebre del Jazz. The John Coltrane Quartet. Cuando uno piensa en "My Favourite Things " o "A Love Supreme", recuerda el sonido de McCoy Tyner tanto como el saxofón de Coltrane. Pero fue mucho más que eso, incluso antes de la muerte de Coltrane ya había editado sus primeros discos solistas. Su madre le dió sus primeras lecciones de piano, y definitivamente Bud Powell, su vecino en Filadelfia, fue una de sus grandes influencias. Su debut discográfico fue en el álbum "Meet the Jazztet" en 1960 junto al saxofonista tenor Benny Golson y el trompetista Art Farmer. “Lo que no tocas a veces es tan importante como lo que tocas” dijo en una entrevista con Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz de NPR. Junto con Bill Evans , Herbie Hancock o Chick Corea, Tyner fue uno de los principales referentes del piano de jazz moderno. El disco que revisamos hoy es su 3er álbum, "Nights of Ballads & Blues" (1963) Les invitamos a disfrutar de su música. 1. We'll Be Together Again 2. Satin Doll 3. Blue Monk 4.

In this week's episode, we welcome special guest James Fox, author of 1982's bestselling White Mischief and the man who, ten years ago, made Keith Richards' Life one of rock's outstanding autobiographies. James talks us through his long and distinguished career as a journalist in Africa, and as a features writer during the golden era of The Sunday Times Magazine. He describes how his friendship with "Keef" was cemented by the pieces he wrote for that publication about the Rolling Stones in 1973 and 1976, answering his hosts' questions about the great man's rhythm guitar playing.The fantastic Mr. Fox also offers his perspective on Little Richard, whose death last week prompts discussion of the gay black southerner's explosive role in the birth of rock & roll. We hear a clip of the sometime Mr. Penniman speaking in 1985 – as well as one of the late Betty ('Clean Up Woman') Wright owning up to being a shameless show-off in 1978. Handily, James is on hand, too, to reminisce about the importance of Moe Asch's legendary Folkways label – as revisited in the week's new audio interview, a conversation with folk elder Pete Seeger conducted by Tony Scherman in 1987. Clips follow of Seeger talking about Asch and recalling Folkways legends Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie. As ever, Mark guides us through his personal library highlights, including pieces about John Coltrane (1965), Deep Purple (1970), Ashford & Simpson (1982) and Billy Idol (1990).

Don't know how this one slipped through the cracks, but I'm glad I caught it. Be-Bop Deluxe [04:05] "Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape" Axe Victim Harvest 11689 1974 From the debut Be-Bop Deluxe. Very Bowie derived, but cool things throughout. The B-52's [07:40] "Downtown" The B-52's Warner Bros. BSK 3355 1979 Reached number 59 on the Top 200. Wonderful pop junk, to borrow a phrase from Robert Christgau, here with the band borrowing from Petula Clark. Lunachicks [10:35] "Cookie Core" Babysitters on Acid Blast First BFFP 52 1990 I mean really, who doesn't love cookies? I always loved seeing them live (https://youtu.be/20G3XW03ofY) back in my NYC days. One of the best was when they played with L7 at CBGBs shortly after my 22nd birthday. Camarata conducting the Kingsway Symphony Orchestra and Chorus [13:56] "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" Bach Spectacular London Records SPC 21078 1972 In Phase 4 Stereo! Quadrophonic, you ask?

Gong Kebyar, Sebatu [39:32] "Gilak" Bali: Gamelan Music from Sebatu Archiv Produktion 2533 130 1972 According to the liner notes, this is an ancient ritual temple dance performed by warriors before a fight. John Coltrane Quartet [47:05] "You Don't Know What Love Is" Ballads Impulse! A-32 1963 (1974 reissue) A classic from the American songbook, written for an Abbott and Costello flick "Keep Em Flying" from 1941. Of course, it took Miles Davis to make it a jazz standard, and Coltrane and co to take it to the next level. The Three O'Clock [52:19] "Sorry" Baroque Hoedown Frontier FLP 1010 1982 From the frontlines of the Paisley Underground, we'll go with The Three O'Clock's cover of The Easy Beats "Sorry", because of course Angus and Malcolm Young's older brother George co-wrote "Sorry" (https://youtu.be/1o4k9nC3CL0). How's that for a callback. The Munich Bach-Orchestra [54:41] "Concerto for Two Harpsichords and Orchestra in C-Minor" Music from the soundtrack of Barry Lyndon Warner Bros. K56189 1975 One of the finest films to be shot by candlelight. And hey, another call back: Bach + Harpsichord. We're killing it! Music behind the DJ: "Inspector Clouseau's Theme" by Henry Mancini

Bassist and 2020 NEA Jazz Master Reggie Workman is aptly named. The man might not have played with everyone in jazz, but he has come close. I don't want this to turn into a list of Workman's gigs, so I'll just touch on some of the major ones: He was a member of both the John Coltrane Quartet playing in such legendary recordings as Live at the Village Vanguard, and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers during one of the band's great line-ups. According to Reggie, Coltrane and Blakey were very different leaders: Coltrane gave his band a lot of freedom while Blakey knew exactly what he wanted. Because he could play any style of jazz from the American songbook to avant-garde, he became the go-to bassist for Blue Note Records backing folks from Abbey Lincoln to David Murray. He's also led his own groups like the Reggie Workman Ensemble and performed in collaborative trios. In this wide-ranging conversation, Workman talks about what makes a good supporting artist and what he was looking for when he began his group. As professor at the New School for more than 30 years, Workman also talked about teaching and helping young musicians to understand “there are mistakes (in jazz),…but you have to be able to justify each note.” This music-filled podcast is a look at a fascinating artist.

PROGRAM NOTES In today's VINYL VIBRATIONS podcast, we explore jazz guitarist and composer Larry Coryell. INTRO TO  "LARRY CORYELL": Larry Coryell was born in 1943 in Galveston. He is an american jazz fusion guitarist. A long background as a musician, he played in local bands in Texas and later in the Seattle area.  He moved to NYC in 1965  - age 22 - and was part of Chico Hamilton's quartet. In the late 1960s he recorded with jazz vibraphonist great, great Gary Burton. He also played in the band Free Spirits.  He formed his own group, The Eleventh House, in 1973. Later in the 1970s  in 1979, Coryell formed "The Guitar Trio" with jazz fusion guitarist John McLaughlin and flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia. Coryell's music combined influences and styles of rock, jazz and eastern. That eastern influence was not doubt a result of his interest in the spiritual leader Sri Chimnoy. Coryell's discography is impressive.  As leader, there are 36 albums, and as sideman, there are many other albums. This podcast follows Larry Coryell's work from a rich time in his younger years, 1968-1975, or from age 25-32, recording in New York City for Vanguard Apostolic, Mega records  and Arista. In today's podcast we will hear six of Larry Coryell's best !! Starting with… M1 Song Treats Style Album Lady Coryell M2 Song After Later Album Larry Coryell at the Village Gate M3 Song Further Explorations for Albert Stinson Album Fairyland M4 Song Low-Lee-Tah Album Introducing the Eleventh House w Larry Coryell M5 Song Pavane For A Dead Princess Album The Restful Mind M6 Song Level One Album Level One Album Artist Eleventh House featuring Larry Coryell   M1  Song Treats Style Album Lady Coryell. Album Artist Larry Coryell. Composer Jim Garrison   Larry Coryell was just 25 when this album was recorded in 1968. It is his first album as a leader.By now, LC had recorded two albums with vibraphonist Gary Burton, in his group The Free Spirits. Decades of collaboration would follow between LC and jazz-great Burton, king of the four-mallet style, on jazz vibes. And now in 1968, two more jazz masters are with Coryell  - - Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums … guest artists on this album. Bassist and song composer Garrison played as a sideman with the John Coltrane classic quartet -- along with pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones, from 1962-1967. Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones formed the "rhythm section" of the John Coltrane Quartet.  They gave bold physicality to Coltrane, due to the focused intensity of their rhythm section.   You will hear that focused intensity of the rhythm section on this song. This rhythm machine, plus Coryell's licks provide an outstanding TRIO performance. And there is a Milestone Event for Coryell …on this song, "Treats Style", Coryell takes his first guitar solo!! Larry Coryell's blues guitar signature is imitated but never duplicated, such as his solo here in TREATS STYLE.  This is great early LC, in his formative years, in the 1960s,   as jazz guitarist, composer, arranger and co-producer. The album was produced by David Weiss and LC. Treats Style, was composed by the bassist, Jimmy Garrison, who was 35 at the time of this album. By Vanguard Apostolic. Year 1969 Featuring the trio - - - Larry Coryell guitar Jim Garrison Bass Elvin Jones drums M2 Song After Later, Album Larry Coryell at the Village Gate, Album Artist Larry Coryell, Composer Larry Coryell, Year 1971, By Vanguard Recording Society Featuring Larry Coryell guitar Mervin Bronson bass Harry Wilkinson drums Larry Coryell is almost 28 at the time of this show at the Village Gate in NYC. After Later is a jazz-rock guitar instrumental, done, in 10/4 time. On this song we have the driven lead guitar jazz rock style of LC, with distortion and feedback effects. Some of that overdrive is the unique combination of LC's choice of what is typically a jazz guitar,

Legendary Drummer, Michael Shrieve spends time with On The Scene SF/O for a 2-Part conversation.   Shrieve is often hailed as one of the highlights for his fiery drum solo during Santana’s “Soul Sacrifice”, as captured in the 1969 Festival’s film, Woodstock. He seeks out interesting people, and artists to embolden his creative output. Considered a music experimentalist, the drummer, percussionist, producer, and composer, has been involved in a wide array of innovative projects since his tenure in Santana, ranging from electronic music, to fusion, jazz, improvised music, and appeared on notable commercial outings, such as the Rolling Stones’ Emotional Rescue (on percussion) in 1980, and later on Mick Jagger’s “She’s the Boss” album. To illustrate the type of forward thinking musicians he associates with, collaborations include Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood, Al Di Meola, Klaus Schulze, David Beal, Andy Summers, Steve Roach, David Torn, Jonas Hellborg, Bill Frisell, Mark Isham, Jeff Beal, Wayne Horvitz, Zakir Hussain, Airto, and Jack DeJohnette. We begin by speaking about the new release, Santana IV, featuring the remaining members of the original Woodstock era of the band, with- Guitarist, Carlos Santana, Guitarist, Neal Schon, Vocalist and Keyboardist, Gregg Rolie, Percussionist, Mike Carabello, with newer Santana collaborators, percussionist, Karl Perazzo, Bassist, Benny Rietveld, and guest vocalist, Ronald Isley. With such a storied career, it is inevitable that there is much to mine in these conversations. In Part 1, you will get to hear some of the inside scoop on Santana IV, encounters with Bassist, Jaco Pastorius, while residing in New York, his forthcoming recording with Jack DeJohnette, Zakir Hussain, and others, as well as Shrieve’s experience meeting the classic John Coltrane Quartet, and his longtime friendship with Drummer, Elvin Jones.

ILLUMINATION McCoy Alfred Tyner is best remembered from the John Coltrane Quartet. In the past decades since he has become one of the major pianists and composers, expanding the vocabulary of color and harmony. His lusty piano is richly percussive and hammering, while full of cascading and romantic sounds. His unique and forceful style has inspired and influenced a whole new generation of musicians. Tyner was born in Philadelphia on December 11, 1938, the oldest of three children. He was encouraged to study piano by his mother. He finally began studying the piano at age 13 and within two years, music had become the focal point in his life. In the beginning McCoy practiced on a neighbour's piano. When his family bought one, he began hosting jam sessions. Among his friends and neighbours 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 Regie Workman. "Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighbourhood. Bud was a major influence on me during my early teens. He was very dynamic." In addition, Thelonious Monk and Art Tatum were young McCoy's major influences. McCoy studied at the West Philadelphia Music School and later at Granoff School of Music. At age 17, while playing at a local club called the Red Rooster, he first met JOHN COLTRANE. Coltrane was in Philadelphia between gigs with Miles Davis. The saxophonist, whose style was still in its formative stages and whose reputation was on the rise, had no working group of his own, but secured a few engagements in and around Philadelphia, with McCoy often in his rhythm section. The rapport between the two was so apparent, that Coltrane made it clear that he hoped to eventually have a regular band with McCoy Tyner in it.His first main exposure came with BENNY GOLSON being the first pianist in Golson's and Art Farmer's legendary Jazztet (1959). By 1960, when John Coltrane finally left Miles Davis to form his own group, McCoy left Art Farmer. Tyner continued with Coltrane through 1965, participating in all the major recording sessions.The pianist participated in numerous historical recording sessions with Coltrane, including for instance Africa Brass, A Love Supreme, and My Favorite Things. While with Coltrane, Tyner also recorded many of his own albums for Impulse!, including such classics as "Inception", "Night of Ballads and Blues", and "Live at Newport", and later for Blue Note, which enabled him to feature his densely rich piano sound to great effect.Upon Leaving Coltrane (1965), there was a lull in Tyner's popularity. The future looked bright and the trio he formed seemed to have a big future. In fact he spent the next five years playing superbly but getting more and more disillusioned due to lack of acceptance. But he rebounded in the 1970's. Due to groups featuring Sonny Fortune and Azar Lawrence and recordings for Milestone like "Sahara", which received two Grammy nominations and was named 'Album of the year' in the Down Beat Critics Poll, Tyner gained recognition. He toured and recorded with SONNY ROLLINS, Ron Carter and Al Foster as the Milestone Jazzstars in 1978, and in the mid-1980s led a quintet that included Gary Bartz and violinist John Blake. Since 1980, he has also arranged his lavishly textured harmonies for a big band that performs and records when possible. In the late 1980s, he mainly focussed on his regular piano trio featuring Avery Sharpe on bass and Aarron Scott on drums. As of today, this trio is still in great demand. He returned to Impulse in 1995, with a superb album featuring MICHAEL BRECKER. In 1996 he recorded a special album with the music of BURT BACHARACH. In 1998 he changed labels again and recorded a interesting latin album and an album featuring STANLEY CLARKE for TelArc. While he avoids modern conventions and the trappings of the moment, Tyner's sound remains contemporary to this day. Tyner's full use of the piano's keyboard, with a striking exploitation of dynamics, sets him aside from more introverted players like Bill Evans and Keith Jarret. Their "musique de chambre" links them more with the European-oriented piano tradition, whereas Tyner follows the track back to the roots of the Afro-American quintessence of jazz music.Tyner's music has been a major influence over the adoption in jazz of quartal and quintal harmonies, modes and pentatonic scales. He achieved a revived appreciation as a major player in the international jazz scene, a status he continues to maintain
