Very sad. He left a great body of work, especially with Coltrane. panader0 Mar 2020 #2

One of my all-time musical heroes.

Here's classic Tyner play Jobim's "Wave" from the "SuperTrios" album:

He had awesome chops and dexterity.

I have never seen him in person, but I listen to my Coltrane stuff often.
'My Favorite Things', 'Live at the Village Vanguard' and 'A Love Supreme'.
He was 81, a nice long time. RIP.
