Shades of Jazz: Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian & Dewey Redman
Ethan Iverson has done an exhaustive analysis of the early Keith Jarrett trio/quartet with Charlie Haden, Paul Motian and Dewey Redman. Having come of age in the mid ‘60s, I’m amazed that often obscure, but spot-on example that Ethan introduces, like Lowell Davidson’s recording! This is enlightening and very long. Take it in portions.

McCoy Tyner’s Revolution
“Tyner plays some things on the piano, but I don’t know what they are.” - John Coltrane
A belated happy 80th birthday to living legend McCoy Tyner! Ethan Iverson has a deep appreciation of the pianist over on his essential Do The Math blog, offering insight into why Tyner is one of the true greats. Lots of audio examples to get into as well.
“McCoy’s influences are discernible, but in end he sounded absolutely like no one else. As the Coltrane group grew more popular, Tyner’s approach traveled like a shockwave through the community. No one — not Art Tatum, not Powell, not Monk, not Bill Evans — dropped a bomb on jazz pianists quite like McCoy Tyner. There was pre-McCoy and post-McCoy, and that was all she rote.”
