Jazz piano master, McCoy Tyner, with his explosively percussive left hand and rich harmonic chords that transcended conventional styles, first as a member — while still in his teens — of the legendary John Coltrane Quartet and then on 80+ albums.
Tyner is still brimming with inventiveness even after such an illustrious career. He will appear at UCLA’s Royce Hall with his trio and special guest Grammy-winning saxophonist Gary Bartz.
Another treat: L.A.-based ensemble Build An Ark, whose soulful improvised music draws on the collective talents and influences of about 20 musicians on stage, including hypnotic vocalist Dwight Trible, will open the concert.
