McCoy Tyner
Piano Solo on
The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

About

McCoy Tyner's piano solo is the closing of 2 solos on this recording, following John Coltrane's tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 52-bar AAB form at a bright 223 BPM with a latin feel in G, the solo runs approximately 1:51. McCoy Tyner follows with two choruses of his own, his quartal voicings and percussive attack already fully developed despite being just twenty-one years old at the time. McCoy Tyner was 21 to 22 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
