"McCoy Tyner shows all his virtuosity during a piano solo concert at the Warsaw Jazz Festival. In 1991, McCoy Tyner was already one of the last giants of jazz to perform. He recorded no fewer than 80 albums, from *Inception*, in 1962, to *Solo, Live from San Francisco*, in 2009. The biggest labels in the history of jazz were marked by his imprint: a dozen albums at Impulse! (*McCoy Tyner Plays Ellington*, 1964), a dozen at Blue Note (*The Real McCoy*, 1967) and a score at Milestone (*Enlightment*, 1973,* Passion Dance*, 1978). Added to this was a prestigious sideman career where he made his hands alongside John Coltrane mainly, with whom he recorded nearly 30 albums, including the essential *My Favorite Things* (1961), *Olé* (1962), *A Love Supreme* (1964). He is also credited with a few notable appearances with Joe Henderson (*In 'N Out*, 1964), Wayne Shorter (*Juju*, 1964), Lou Donaldson (*Lush Life*, 1967). So many strengths that have forged for him a perfect knowledge of standards. There is no better proof than this solo concert in Poland where the pianist deconstructed with vigor and velocity ""Giant Steps"" and ""Naima"" of Coltrane or ""Rhythm-A-Ning"" and Monk's Dream by Monk, among some of his compositions.
