Relive this exceptional evening commemorating the incredible McCoy Tyner in the great Pierre Boulez Hall of the Philharmonie de Paris. Pianists Craig Taborn, Geri Allen, and McCoy Tyner himself take the stage in solo and trio performances, creating a unique and emotional musical atmosphere.

His percussive and inimitable style, featuring sophisticated harmonies and unique modal colors, comes to life in John Coltrane’s ‘classic’ quartet.
