Alfred McCoy Tyner (born 1938)
Piano
McCoy
"To me living and music are all the same thing. And I keep finding
out more about music as I learn more about myself, my environment,
about all kinds of different things in life. I play what I live.
Therefore, just as I can't predict what kinds of experiences I'm going
to have, I can't predict the directions in which my music will go.
I just want to write and play my instrument as I feel."
-- McCoy Tyner
