Edu Hawkins attended McCoy Tyner's LJF gig as a photographer, and writes:

I was really impressed. To see a musician of his age and stature play with such untamed enthusiasm was a  pleasure. For such a mild-mannered guy, he played with such ferocity, with his left hand crashing down aggressively on the keys at times. The highlight of the set for me was a beautiful rendition of 'My one and only love', featuring Chris Potter on tenor and Jose James on vocals.
