Alfred McCoy Tyner (born December 11, 1938) is a jazz pianist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, known for his work with the John Coltrane Quartet and a long solo career.
He began studying the piano at age 13 and within two years music had become the focal point in his life. His early influences included Bud Powell, a Philadelphia neighbor. When he was 17, he converted to Islam through the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and changed his name to Sulieman Saud.

Love this, but I first fell in love with John Coltrane playing this with Duke Ellington.

[@thomasdisalvo4091]

This is so respectful of the sheer beauty of the tune - but goes to those places Mr. Tyner can only go - he improvises an odyssey, a rhapsody, a ballade - his ballad solo playing tries to elevate/transcend the tune and open it to a higher spiritual plane -

If words can describe music, you've said it.

I grew up listening to jazz at the age of 10 and still listen to it.
