Effective as a sideman and as a group leader, McCoy Tyner is known for his strong left hand attack, as well as his unique right-hand soloing style.  While working with the John Coltrane Quartet, he developed a distinctively driven style of piano playing that was very complementary to the modal music being played by Coltrane.



This video shows McCoy playing with the John Coltrane Quartet.  He takes a piano solo at approximately 3:35.
