Wave by Jobim - McCoy Tyner Style

McCoy Tyner is one of may favorite musicians. His phenomenal technique and high energy playing is unmistakable. I recently heard the McCoy Tyner album "Super Trios" featuring a version of the great Jobim song "Wave" and knew I had to give it a try in that style. McCoy plays Wave at a very bright 190 BPM on that album and in the key of C, so that's what I've done here.

I had some lighting issues with the video recording so I decided to convert it to grayscale for clarity.

I've placed the chord changes on the top of the video and they are fairly accurate although I may have added a #9 instead of a b9 on some of the chords. For the tag at the end I give a little nod to "A Love Supreme". ;-)
