I am a fan. He influenced my playing and the way I improvise.
Last April, we attended "McCoy Tyner and Charles McPherson at 80 at Lincoln Center." Mr McPherson did a set. McCoy was in attendance but was not able to play. I had seen him at a free concert at Castle Clinton. The seats weren't good and the sound was so-so, but at least I saw him live.
You lucky fellow!
