LONGTIME JOHN COLTRANE COLLABORATOR/JAZZ PIANIST TO PERFORM WITH CHRISTIAN SCOTT
SAN DIEGO, CALIF., Nov. 13 – McCoy Tyner, longtime member of John Coltrane’s The Coltrane Quartet, will unleash his distinctive jazz piano stylings on audiences at Anthology on Nov. 25 and 26. Also playing with the jazz legend is an artist carrying on the torch for a younger generation, jazz trumpeter Christian Scott.
Philadelphia native Tyner picked up a love for jazz at an early age from influences including his neighbor and fellow jazz pianist Bud Powell (Powell is considered to be one of the architects of the bebop sound, along with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie).
Coltrane used one of Tyner’s compositions, “The Believer,” in 1958 before Tyner joined Coltrane’s quartet in 1960. The foursome toured nearly nonstop from 1961 to 1965 and recorded several classic albums. Tyner also released numerous influential solo albums, including 1962’s “Inception” that showcased his work as a composer, and played on many of the acclaimed Blue Note Records albums of the 1960s.
Carrying on the jazz tradition for a new generation is New Orleans-bred jazz trumpeter Christian Scott, who graduated from the Berklee School of Music in 2004. Currently leading a jazz ensemble in his name, Scott is known for his knack for creating “warm, fuzzy” sounds that seem unlikely to be issued from a trumpet. His second album, “Anthem,” released last year, was inspired by Hurricane Katrina’s effects on his hometown.
