  1. Cool. I love seeing (hearing) the Herbie and Tyner love here. Tyner had such a beautiful sound which complimented Coltrane’s bebop craziness. He’s probably one of my favourite jazz pianists after Oscar Peterson and Monk. Great podcast.

    1. Thanks for listening and commenting James, we really appreciate it – will be rolling out more soon so stay tuned, no doubt we’ll touch on Monk and Peterson!
