Not that I know of. All compositions by McCoy Tyner: a pianist and composer.
One of the most beloved quotes by Tyner: "I am the music I play; in trying to explain the direction of music, I can only base it on the direction that I (McCoy Tyner) pursue in life."
John Coltrane's wife, Alice, also plays the Harp. Wayne Shorter, tenor and soprano sax; Gary Bartz, alto sax; Ron Carter, acoustic bass; and Elvin Jones (master percussionist) on drums.
I was able to attend a McCoy Tyner performance in 2004 (with Stanley Clarke on acoustic bass!) and I was taken with Tyner's gravelly voice, which I thought only trumpet players could get, but it would seem that all cool Jazz players attain it...that voice, that is.
My favorite Jazz album of all time! (Okay, top five...)
