McCoy Tyner
Piano Solo on
You Know I Care

About

McCoy Tyner's piano solo is the second of two improvisations on this recording, following Henderson's two-chorus tenor saxophone ballad. Taking a brief partial chorus of the 26-bar ABA' form in D-flat at 65 BPM, Tyner offers a concise but evocative closing statement. His abbreviated solo serves as an epilogue to Henderson's more extended exploration, the piano's rich harmonic palette adding a final layer of color to this intimate ballad performance.

McCoy Tyner was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
