...always get the usual roll call: Ashkenazy, Serkin, Gilels, you know, the classical people. But how about this nomination: McCoy Tyner? After all, why must we always call Tyner one of the world's greatest living jazz musicians. For that matter why can't that roll call read Tyner, Monk, and Taylor...
