Special Guest Gary Bartz To Play Alongside McCoy Tyner Trio At The Blue Note
Event:
Feb. 24th- 25th
(8:00 pm, 10:30 pm)
Blue Note Jazz Club
New York, NY
It is not an overstatement to say that modern jazz has been shaped by the music of McCoy Tyner. His blues-based piano style, replete with sophisticated chords and an explosively percussive left hand has transcended conventional styles to become one of the most identifiable sounds in improvised music. His harmonic contributions and dramatic rhythmic devices form the vocabulary of a majority of jazz pianists.
Saxophonist Gary Bartz is a musician who believes that jazz and other black music genres are not separate, but rather are pieces of a great whole. His musical portfolio, including his seminal early work with his Ntu Troop, has become some of the most vital, inventive music from an astute musical mind to be laid down and preserved. With over 30 recordings as a leader (as well as more than 100 recordings as a guest artist with others), Gary Bartz has taken his rightful place in the pantheon of improvisational music greats.
