Was lucky enough to be at this performance. McCoy hasn't lost anything, he has simply evolved into a different player in his old age. I tend to prefer his younger style as well, but his harmonies of late are simply a new challenge for us mortal listeners~
first of all, the video/audio cut off at the best part, when the others shut up -- so sad to say, because McCoy is as close to a hero as I have - but he is no longer who he once was -- even as recently as 3 years ago. Age, health issues -- I remember seeing McCoy at Tommy Flanagan's 75th tribute concert in SF, Tommy was delicate and regal but he couldn't blaze. McCoy came out and did Lazy Bird in cut-cut time now he's the old dude...he should stop doing the old approach - play solo quiet gentle
