[@ypolchenko-freejazz-guitar]

Great sound recording. Respect to sound engineer

[@LH-jo7os]

Came back for this classic recording...RIP McCoy Tyner

[@UkuleleAversion]

Jazz musicians like Mcoy and the band in the video never get enough credit for their skill. The technicality of improvising these lines is incredible. A classical musician has the luxury of knowing the notes he or she will play, a jazz musician has to be true enough and skilled enough to pull that off improvising. Jazz musicians don't get enough credit.

[@dirkitjes7222]

+TFP 3141 So true!

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

I play both .... Jazz is a lot more difficult!

[@jonathanzielke2280]

Classical music is super-demanding as well in other ways, interpreting, sight-reading, dynamics ... And I play Jazz...

[@drumtwo4seven]

I agree Not a pianist here BUT (tbh) out of spite I learned one of Bach's 2 part inventions no13 in a minor (on piano). OK I do realize not the hardest piece to learn but its no beginners piece at the same time. I used to be able to play it fluently in time good feel. I honestly had no prior piano experience practically spealing. I knew where middle C was on the grand staff what a sharp and flat was etc I was able to learn it w out any outside help. It does involve counterpoint. I figured out allthe fingerings by myself. ANYWAY I learned it because I thought it sounded cool was challenging and not too long. But ALSO BECAUSE I WAS SICK OF THE SNOBBERY associated with classical music musicians etc I now know anyone can learn classical music because it is all written out for note for note. Jazz on the other hand relies on theory technique creativity and dialect. Much more involved than classical music. I always felt that way and wanted to prove it to myself. I feel it is true!

[@travelingman9763]

Blacks Innovated the music in numerous categories and that's why not popularized . Big Bands always had Black great rivals to white bands and these were viewed as threats to White power economically,religiously and otherwise due to intellectual global awakening appeals that defied white superiority plus feeling rarely expressed by other races as forcefully!

[@kmaclean]

These are the greatest musicians in the world. Thank you for posting this beautiful, underappreciated music.

[@rickdavenport9538]

McCoy Tyner could manipulate time so incredibly in his playing. R.I.P. GIANT!!!

[@eonofmemories]

lol....unreal. A favorite trane tune and eric harland solo is just plain ridiculous! Absolute stunning version...thanks for posting and thanks to the musicians.

[@egyptianminor]

This tune kinda belongs together w/ 'Giant Steps' and 'Countdown' - very hard to solo coherently and smoothly over them, especially at those burning tempos. Been working on 'Giant Steps' for over a year - and that alone is one gargantuan task, but I'll getting there. These guys make it seem effortless.

[@FCntertainr]

Awesome! McCoy and Bobby just bringing it on , Coltrane vehicle great showcase. Loved McCoy playing in Bobby's Solo Quartet record.

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

An absolutely wicked 7 minutes 33 seconds of sheer brilliance by 4 masters of their instruments playing together so empathetically.....

[@videolover61]

I got chills from McCoy's solo...such a presence...

[@arikzapp]

Great Musicians, McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson

[@trismegistus7758]

Mr. Tyner has reached a level of craft and musicianship rarely achieved on his instrument of choice.

[@ianbent0n]

McCoy Tyner is the master of accompaniment.

[@dougedmunds]

RIP

[@wetdog158]

This video should have a million views. Everyone in this group is ridiculous. Check out the rest of the songs on youtube from this concert if you haven't already, they're all worth your time. Great music! And Eric Harland ... GAAAH!! so good!

[@IAmDCooper-]

Bobby Hutcherson is an amazing, humble character. i got a chance to see him live at Montco Lively Arts Theater this past fall...

[@schwarzgeist4024]

rest in power McCoy

[@clarkb5137]

legend

[@johnsharpe734]

The whole band is amazing of course. Ive listened to lots of drummers, but never heard anything like Eric Harland....the emotion of his playing almost brought me to tears....His moved the bar....

[@rehabmd]

unfriggenbelievable these musicians honor JC at the highest level. thank you for this video

[@learnerlearns]

Holy Sheetmusic batman! These are some serious baddasses!

[@Zerad92]

McCoy has chosen well all his mates... really amazing sound!!!

[@sotender48]

HERIC HARLAND ABSOLUTELY I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E-!!!!!!!!God bless you!

[@paxwallacejazz]

Drummer both propulsive and refined. Buoyant sophisticated wow.

[@jesseolsson1697]

Upload something pax

[@paxwallacejazz]

@@jesseolsson1697 Oh me geez I am playing alot of solo piano here in Copenhagen but kinda out of the habit I probably need a tech helper at this point perhaps. Bro. Do I know you? Honestly I am more focused on trying for some kind of break through with my playing.

[@probablynoturdad]

My god, that's killer. Harland is like the perfect blend between Elvin, Philly Joe, and an extraterrestrial funkonaut.

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

But what is a so-called 'extraterrestrial funkonaut' ? -- Have you ever come across one...like, ever ??

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

Notwithstanding that, Eric Harland certainly does one of the all-time greatest drum solos...

[@probablynoturdad]

tunefultony johnson I never met him, but I'd say Sun Ra qualifies. Absolutely!

[@jazz4asahel]

I'm noticing what he's doing during the vibraphonist's solo, beginning around 1:17. Eric Harland seems capable like no other drummer I've heard lately.

[@paxwallacejazz]

Seanan Gibbs yes very propulsive drummer but very sophisticated rounded sound I like how it blends into this wave lifting the soloist forward. Even his solo is an even and interesting lush carpet.

[@JuanFernandez2291]

I usedt to be able to play this song. Soloing on it though, is VERY hard and Mccoy makes it look so easy. But also, if you don't play it for awhile, you tend to forget how it goes kind of quick (so you gotta keep up w it or else) - what a tragedy!

[@davidbriole5507]

"The joy of playing" Essentiel !!! Thank you mister Mc Coy Tyner

[@DarkeningSkies1]

This is a MONSTER, man. Harland is a complete beast.

[@billgodman8319]

Masterful!

[@fastborzoi]

this is FABULOUS, ALL the musicians UK gig 2002 McCoy Tyner - piano; Bobby Hutcherson - vibes; Charnett Moffett - bass; Eric Harland - drums Thanks for posting

[@truro007]

Bobby Hutcherson is an amzing vibes player

[@mharbaugh]

Those guys are really swingin'!

[@MDugardin]

ThankX a lot ! everyone who knows the grid of this piece can appreciate what's happening here !! :) that's wonderful.

[@chuckbuckbobuck]

Man that McCoy Tyner is one prodigiously talented piano player--FANTABULOUS!!

[@331paradiddle]

wow Eric Harland is sooooo tasteful and what a great sounds he gets. Very inspiring to hear him.

[@marcelojuliodemeloguerragu5023]

Eu não conhecia sua musica mas depois da virada cultural em são paulo em 2012 aprendi a gostar, que vitalidade o coroa......

[@user-ej3ub6cq9f]

super jazz pianist, mccoy!! brabo!! R.I.P.

[@jrmaxxbongo]

A la McCoy and Hutch Groove Mastering to the Max. Superb!

[@SuperKeswick]

Yes yes yes !!!!!

[@weberbern]

Yeah! He's definitely one of the best jazz drummers alive! I just love his energy!

[@andrewtannenbaum1]

Drummer plays melody in his solo. He holds this together like mortar.

[@lawrencemuller8972]

Bobby Hutcherson's solo : fabulous McCoy Tyner's also, of course. In fact, the four musicians are all fabulous.

[@ata1811]

Absolute classic!! Thank you for posting!

[@ohnonotme52]

torch passed.......Elvin to Tony.....Eric Harland

[@pf5658]

Tyner plays Coltrane. Can it get any better? I don't think so. Just absolutely outstanding. That drummer killed it.

[@freein2339]

If they're playing with McCoy , then you know they're good....

[@dr05guitar]

i love this tune

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

+dr05guitar This tune loves you, buddy, as well :)

[@pukulu]

Hutcherson is really an all time great on the vibes and he's been playing with McCoy since the '70s.

[@geraldfer]

This just...awesome...whew...AWESOME!!!

[@rehabmd]

one of my favorite Coltrane piece

[@mkwill8335]

Beautiful.

[@JonP1961]

That groove he's got happenin' there (initially at 5:21), with the cymbal and the lone rim shot then the Tom, is so jazz!!! Delicate touch, quiets the whole thing down for a bit, and the way he uses the space between notes. Very expressive!

[@VicViper26]

Masterful. Tyner and Hutcherson together; what more can you want? Also, I'd never heard of Eric Harland before watching this, but I won't soon forget.

[@jeanmedar]

Check out invisible cinema (album) by Aaron Parks.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Damn! McCoy went straight "beast Mode" on that Solo And OMG! that left hand! I'm surprised he didn't wreck that piano!

[@1955drv]

Thank you Gentlemen 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@HideyukiNakanoMusic]

great!!!!!

[@mahajohn]

I wonder if a single one of these dudes has the slightest technical limitation? I can't imagine so. The drummer is a force of nature. Jeez!

[@neo4reals]

That drummer is KILLIN!!!

[@jazz1bro]

An example by two legends how to not stay pegged as a clone with soul and precision! Fantastic!

[@freein2339]

Awesome....

[@gowbass]

Damn, I love hearing McCoy with this rhythm section...I mean some of his recent bands ...(o_O).

[@mudcrabberson]

feels and flows so 'around' the composition

[@HellBlaueTinte]

HARLAND ! good drummer in a wonderfull CREW !

[@arckanon13]

man these guys are mad. I would so love to be able to watch them live, learn from them and be able to jam with them..

Master musicians, creative genius`

Marvelous

Thanks for sharing. That was Killin'!!!

[@armystrong2727]

Whoever dislike this video apparently doesn’t know about these cats on stage my uncle Bobby was one of the greatest vibist ever in the history of jazz and McCoy Tyner Eric Harland and I can’t remember the bass players name but these were for the bad is cats in the industry of jazz soul to dislike this video is total disrespect I understand it’s your opinion but I think it’s just disrespect

[@myroncohen7619]

Many ignorant people!!This is a brilliant performance!

[@armystrong2727]

@@myroncohen7619 yea they don’t have the mental capacity to enjoy instead they wanna hate on these brilliant musicians

[@kaanpeeters]

Why did no one tell me this version existed man? hell yes

[@kingpleasure]

I meant unfuckingbelievable. It is amazing how much so. That's one of the best drum solos I know of, and I have listened to hundreds and hundreds.

[@BigBlock442og]

mccoy is amazing

[@WyattWalkerWear]

This tune is similar, you're correct. The big difference between this and Giant Steps/Countdown, though, is that GS and Countdown use the three-tonic system (Changes built on an augmented triad) whereas Moment's Notice uses the four-tonic system (Changes built on a diminished 7th chord). Personally, I find Moment's Notice a hundred times easier to solo on than Giant Steps or Countdown.

[@331paradiddle]

Eric Harland is a badass

[@Jazzinme11]

오랜만에 들어봅니다. 역시~ 👍

[@charlesbarry2485]

One of John Colrrane's iconic pieces.

[@thunderjack7687]

Wonderful solo by Bobby Hutcherson, but all of them were great.

[@lamontlewis]

The man responsible for concatenating the music of John Coltrane, and he was like no one else at doing it.

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

What does the word (that is, if it exists) "concatenating" mean.....??

[@nuthineatholl6434]

Just think, t.j., if only you were on the Internetz you could (within a few seconds) look up this word in something called a "search engine" and -- voilà! You'd know new shit that you didn't know! (Like perhaps, for instance, the technical use of the word "concatenation" in formal logic language and computer programming.) And just think further, you could do this all by yourself without having to involve anybody else!! This is known as "using your own resources to properly pursue interests that may be solely yours to pursue and not necessarily anybody else's concern." Here's a word-puzzler for you to try out this methodology: what does "caetextia" mean? Cheers.

[@shnootch]

I myself don't mind involving other people, doing things like asking question on internetz threads like this one. Gee you're smart. Have a day...cheers...

[@randallmaull1607]

Eric Harland just smashes the kit on this one !

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

You mean, like WHO drummer Keith Moon was accustomed to doing when he was high up on speed ?? .... :)

[@MrAlvar92]

Magnifico solo de Eric Harland!!!!!!!!! de 5:00 a 7:00

[@Augusto86730]

Tal como o chôro no Brazil, o jazz é a linguagem da excelência do improviso por natureza. O músico solta suas energias e faz o que pode e o que não pode. Magnífico.

[@MrChanismo]

Anybody Knows who is the vibraphone?

Holy shite, that drummer man

Really, really gotta miss the Hutch. At least he did hois thing. If ur a musician, or anything, do your thing, have fun, be criticized, have fun, don't care and die later. We'll see you there.

[@StefanGoranov]

oh my, i just realized eric is 25 here...amazing

[@audiomutilator666]

Anyone noticed that they play the B part 2 bars shorter than the original?

[@LarryNagel]

Yes! 7 years after you posted this, I was just noticing this. On McCoy's Supertrios album, they play the head the usual way, but during the solos they leave out a couple of measures in that section.

[@otanygirl]

holy shit
