Superb keyboard stylist.  Perhaps none better.

Hmph. "Different strokes..." and all that, but I have bought more than a couple of critically -acclaimed albums over the years (one in particular by Keith Jarrett comes to mind) on which the playing was as great as the reviews said, but the near-constant "nee nee nee" of the pianist just ruined it for me.

What's your point?
8 -> 9
Try Pat Methany, Keith Jarrett, or Charlie Mingus.

This brilliant musician left us a wonderful library of work.
RIP Mr. Tyner!  I discovered your wonderful music from a jazz class at CSUN and was hooked ever since.

I thought it was just an interpretive version of summertime.

I dig it, btw.  I am usually not a big jazz guy, but this has enough classical influence to bring me in and enough rhythm to make me tap my foot.
 
It is similar sounding; minor key (Dorian?) chords.  Anyhow, this song was written by John Coltrane not Tyner.
really enjoying this 
Excellent! More Jazz please...

I've heard a bunch of pianists and keyboardists do it. Drummers too. Oscar Peterson. Greg Rollie. Jack DeJohnette. Making love to that thing, baby.

Actually I think it's more correct that Rebecca is all over it.
"Rebecca is RP's music reviewer and business manager. "

Everybody says she's the brains behind Pa

It does sound like "Summertime".  But that's OK...

I find Lonnie to be lamenting the loss of summertime, where the living is easy.

I think the main chord progression
is the same or very similar to the "Song of Storms" in the Ocarina of Time video game that I played ages ago (nerd alert). Blast from the past.

Fly Like the Wind. A stellar line up. One of my favorite jazz pieces. 

Check it out.

Makes me want to dig out my old Coltrane and Bill Evans and jam the melancholy jazz all day! Some truly soul-touching stuff here!
