If I'm not mistaken, it could be Corno Dolce's classical side coming out here,
if he thinks McCoy Tyner is less melodic than Keith Jarrett, or anyone else.
Sensing Mr. Tyners' power is like just hearing a rhythm, not catching melody right away.
But adding power to melody, even a tense grandeur, can enable a delicacy melody alone can't.
More than creating cool, even his silences can provide a new focus of rapture.
In 1977, I saw McCoy Tyner during his "Atlantis" tour. The best music ever.
He was kind, and very gracious, spending twenty minutes with me between sets,
when I saw he was standing all alone at the end of the bar with his own orange juice container in the cooler.
That's how long it took for him to break me into the jazz scene, big big time.
