I’ve always loved the ring of McCoy Tyner. It conveyed a certain fierceness or down-low intensity that always made me sit up and pay attention. If not a jazz pianist he would (or should) have been a baseball player. (A pitcher, I’m thinking.). Or a novelist. Or a Zane Grey gunslinger from the late 1890s. Great name.
