McCoy Tyner's oversized playing style both energizes and pleases, and there's a genuine joy and upward lift in this concert performance with intimate insider moments provided and produced by NPR Music. The pianist also generates good vibes when he talks about making music and making nice with his Manhattan neighbors.

This particular episode of DWD has McCoy Tyner fronting his quartet (Dave Holland, bass; Joe Lovano, saxophone; and Lewis Nash, drums), with some solo spots as well. Especially memorable and mesmerizing is Tyner's original "Walk Spirit...Talk Spirit," sanctified by enlightened bass playing from Dave Holland.

"Discoveries at Walt Disney" has a number of other jazz, classical and multi-labeled music category programs for you to consider one at a time, or as a series. This one is highly appealing and programmable every night of the week and all weekend long.
