McCoy Tyner
Piano Solo on
Body And Soul

About

McCoy Tyner's piano solo is the opening of 2 solos on this recording, before John Coltrane's closing tenor sax statement. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a relaxed 69 BPM with a swing feel in D♭, the solo runs approximately 1:51. Like the master take also included on the album, this version features McCoy Tyner soloing first with a full chorus of piano improvisation before Coltrane enters for a brief quarter-chorus tenor saxophone statement. McCoy Tyner was 21 to 22 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
