Jazz a Vienne, Vienne, France. âJazz a Vienneâ is one of the world's most prestigious jazz festivals. Ever since 1981 it has attracted leading jazz artists, with many of them playing return engagements. Unsurprisingly, the festival's 2012 edition did not fall short of expectations: the lineup was filled with the biggest names in music. Among them was the legendary pianist McCoy Tyner. Tyner has become one of the most influential pianists in jazz history. During the first half of the 1960s, Tyner was part of the classic John Coltrane Quartet. As such, Tynerâs playing supported the iconic saxophonistâs ventures into his spiritual quests. Joined on stage by Coltraneâs son Ravi, with Gerald Cannon on double bass and Montez Coleman on drums, Tyner treats the festivalâs audience to an impressive performance.
