McCoy Tyner has passed away. Not seeing a lot of coverage, but he was an absolutely amazing pianist. Recommend you check these records out if you haven't:

I don't usually rec comps, but it plays out very well despite being quite long. Alternatively, he had about 50 albums you could pick from.
You might even recognize some of the tracks. A handful of high-profile artists have sampled him (Kanye, Michael Jackson, A Tribe Called Quest, JLo, Gambino, Fugees, Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Slick Rick, Chemical Brothers, the list really keeps going...)
Sadly country singer Joe Diffie went forward today because of the Corona sickness. Go here for the news. I got to meet him at my one and only CMA Music Festival in 2000 which was named Fan Fair at the time and again in 2007 when he came here to my area. A beautiful man Joe was. Sadly I am having a problem getting my favorite picture of me and him together up here and so in the mean time, here is one of his best songs in my opinion.
P.S. I pray that his 1992 Music City News award show performance of "The Ships That Don't Come In" is somewhere online again someday soon because it is awesome!!! _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto
Check him out here when you can!
