McCoy Tyner Quartet - Naima (2002)

[@gordonsheets9817]

At 71 years, I broke down and cried because I never got to see McCoy - let alone Bobby and the gang. It definitely doesn't get better than this. Thank whatever gods there are to thank for KZbin!

[@clarkeisackson4747]

I got to see/hear him in Phoenix with my wife. Out of this world!

[@klawpro]

McCoy draws from such an vast musical reservoir and he bares his wonderful soul with class and elegance. His playing runs the gamut of human emotion from an urgent but controlled intensity to smooth, velvety tenderness; and he leaves you satiated with a deeply memorable feeling of joy. Much respect.

[@pennoh5202]

This is quite possibly my favourite version of Naima.....Ever!!!! Have listened to this countless times and will never get tired of hearing it. Love,Love,Love😊

[@topologyrob]

So glad people like this exist

[@andrewm5338]

RIP McCoy Tyner. Such rhythm. I was blessed to be at this concert. I knew of Charnett Moffat, Bobby Hutcherson but Eric Harland...I blown away by the young Eric Harland on drums. Money well and satisfyingly spent.

[@marklabrooy9471]

RIP McCoy Tyner. You were just a beautiful person.

[@johnwattdotca]

I came here to comment because the album track doesn't allow them. I didn't know McCoy Tyner passed away. Knowing this changes the parameters of my life in a way only his music can. For the first time in my life, I'm thinking it's too bad I play guitar, because I can't begin to stand here and play a tribute in fullness. Or try to.

[@bluejazz44]

McCoy Tyner is an extraordinary musician. His stage with John Coltrane was one of the most outstanding activities of a group in the entire history of jazz.

[@meereslicht]

Wow. I'm just going to listen to this for the rest of my life.

I was extremely fortunate to be at that concert. It was awesome. Eric Harland on drums was fantastic.

[@Dharmaku56]

Sensitive and soul searching.... thank you Mr tyner

[@Ewerb7]

Just brilliant! McCoy and Booby are priceless national treasures. Charnett and Eric are wonderful.

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

A 'Booby' is a seabird which nests on cliff tops but waddles rather than flies...... Surely you mean Bobby [Hutcherson].. ??

[@geraldfer]

Just beautiful...this guy did it all...and was classy as he did it...Hats off to you sir!

[@ruckerje802]

Outstanding performance. Kudos to all the musicians.

[@jimbrown1559]

Two jazz monsters on that stage who left so much beauty for us, with a fine supporting cast. A lovely set! I'll never forget McCoy's incredible energy during a set in the '70s at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase, Bobby with Al Grey in his first outing in the early '60s, and the last time I heard him at Kuumbwa a few years ago, attached to oxygen and kicking butt! Jazz radio has been reminding us of McCoy's many masterpieces, including the set with Johhny Hartman (Hartman's masterpiece), McCoy's own many recordings as a leader, and several others with Trane.

[@rkc415]

Man, that's some deep music there. Very broad in scope with very powerful accents and when it builds up in tempo - stunning and beautiful. Can't help but be touched by the musicianship.

[@Valjeanne9]

Gorgeous! Simply gorgeous!

[@pf5658]

Just superb, outstanding. It makes me extremely happy to see so much appreciation for this type of music here on KZbin. I just love jazz.

[@513coltrane]

this has to be the most transcendent melody ever written---and the essence of what Trane wanted to convey to all of us...........

[@Dharmaku56]

Exploring a classic...

[@heavyjr1]

This is my favorite song of all times.Coltrane was a genius.

RIP, Mr. Tyner!

[@johnwattdotca]

I'm here because the original album track doesn't allow comments. I bought this album when it first came out in the late sixties, and I always say Naima is my favorite solo piano of all time, with Beethoven being a distant second. I say that, because Beethoven was one of the last symphony composers, to improvise his solos during his symphony performances. Even if they were played from sheet music they're still my second favorite. Talking with McCoy Tyner for twenty minutes between sets, when he was doing his Atlantis tour at the El Mocambo in Toronto, is a big story, and one of my favorite musical moments in my life. I said I can't expect to just shake hands and talk like we're both musicians, so I sang some riffs I got into singing along with Naima, and that's when he got his orange juice and settled down to talk. I better stop typing.

[@klawpro]

A wonderful rendition of John Coltrane's classic tune. McCoy plays with such a controlled intensity and elegance that he breathes new life into even standard tunes that we've heard for many years. Of course, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes has such a natural rapport with McCoy and he knows just how to enhance the groove, flow and melodic richness of the music. Nice, thanks.

[@pranth9918]

in LOOOOVe with the chord resolutions in this version!

[@amadaximus]

Mamma che bellissima interpretazione...fà venire i brividi

[@ignarukih]

Ballads with vibes are the best. Bobby Hutcherson is the best at vibes. It's a squaring of bestness.

Listening to this piece makes me miss John Coltrane.

the recording of the acoustic bass is really good as well.

[@harrisonjazzensemble]

Oh my God! Perfection.

[@Frisbieinstein]

Best bass tone ever.

[@42percent]

That and the overall sound and style.

[@alhoward6514]

I seen him in Canada. ❤

[@Sludgepump]

So good!!!

[@Fernando_himself]

@markdemey On "Naima" was Wynton Kelly the piano player. In the others themes from "Giant Steps" was Tommy Flanagan.

[@Music4all4Music123]

why isnt McCoy's stuff classics to know. Yes I know this isn't an original. I love Coltrane's take, but man McCoy is such a unique character that he should be considered a Pioneer in he own right.

[@guitarronic]

Actually "The Real McCoy" album is pretty much classics. To know. Look at key albums (according to Wikipedia) in one of most prominent jazz subgenres: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-bop

[@Bob-gi2xk]

Oh, ya... no doubt. He is a jazz pioneer in his own right. He is a key, integral figure in the best of the golden history of jazz.

[@constoura]

@bobjazz11 Tommy Flanagan.And Wynton Kelly just in Naima.thanks for posting :)

[@42percent]

Great stuff! Reminds me of the Modern JazzQuartet.

[@shafiyqmuhammad7806]

The brothers know how to make music just listen

[@Bob-gi2xk]

Ya, no kidding! Beautiful. And Coltrane was a giant. He gave us such great music.
