With deep sadness, we acknowledge the passing of Murray Swinton, an inspirational man + friend to many at the club - (link: https://magpi.es/2pQCWau) magpi.es/2pQCWau

Our thoughts are with his wife Tracie, sons Mitch + Nick + all he gave comfort to as he fought motor neurone disease #sidebyside

When thinking of the typical Collingwood supporter this is the picture that comes up - gun human being!

Here's some of my favourites, as a sample of his brilliance:

And a couple of extremely famous recordings with Coltrane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mEun5ehM4A

A few words:

- From Scott Yanow's artist biography for AllMusic:

It is to McCoy Tyner's great credit that his career after John Coltrane has been far from anti-climatic. Along with Bill Evans, Tyner has been the most influential pianist in jazz of the past 50 years, with his chord voicings being adopted and utilized by virtually every younger pianist. A powerful virtuoso and a true original (compare his playing in the early '60s with anyone else from the time), Tyner (like Thelonious Monk) has not altered his style all that much from his early days but he has continued to grow and become even stronger.

Thanks P4S.

Brilliant music.

Can't say I knew him but knew some of Coltranes - I'm familiar with Monk and "Dizzy" Gillepsie.

Glad you enjoyed it, wpt.

A small note on the personal meaning of Tyner’s passing follows.

When I first was dragged to listen to Tyner, it was the late, very magical Chris Wilson who did so. I was 15 and he was 17 or 18. Long before Chris decided to play things that weren’t just blues, he was fascinated by Coltrane’s playing. He, of course, wanted to make his amplified harmonica reproduce the Sheets of Sound. He thought if he were going to do so, he needed me to play less like Otis Spann and more like Tyner. So we sat in my lounge room listening on my parents’ portable mono record player one wet afternoon to Tyner’s latest solo piano album “Echoes of a Friend” from about 1974 and then to Coltrane with Eric Dolphy and Tyner playing “Spiritual” on Live at the Village Vanguard from 1962.

Then, for light relief, we listened to the whole of Paul Butterfield’s Better Days, Dr Feelgood, Nils Lofgren’s “Cry Tough”, Steve Miller’s “Fly Like an Eagle” and Captain Beefheart.

I sometimes think people may not quite understand how much thought, listening and experimentation goes into creating the voice and particular mode of expression of a really tremendous musician like Chris. Many people would likely think from hearing his music that Chris was “just” interested in the blues, gospel and maybe country music. Like most genuinely great musicians, though, he was a kind of sponge for musical diversity. Much of the music he listened to when he was a young man had little directly to do with the music he played and sang. It did, though, expand and inform his ability to improvise.

So, now, with Chris gone just over a year, me getting to be a properly old man and with McCoy Tyner passing, too, one listens to this music and hears again the possibilities it contained and offered when the world seemed new.

Here’s the song I remember most from that day, “The Discovery”. Tragically, no one would buy me a gong, so I became a lawyer:

Vale McCoy Tyner, indeed.

Well, Pies4shaw, I'm not that much into jazz, but I certainly enjoy the blues and Chris Wilson was an absolute gem at playing and singing them.

Post subject: Vale Tim Brooke-TaylorReply with quote

"The sketch was written by Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman and originally performed on their TV series At Last the 1948 Show in 1967":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqeZos7pm74

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52262490

Comedian Tim Brooke-Taylor has died at the age of 79 with coronavirus, his agent has confirmed to the BBC.

The entertainer, best known for The Goodies and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, died on Sunday.

Fellow Goodie star Graeme Garden said he was "terribly saddened by the loss of a dear colleague and close friend of over 50 years".

"He was a funny, sociable, generous man who was a delight to work with," Garden said.

"Audiences found him not only hilarious but also adorable. His loss at this dreadful time is particularly hard to bear, and my thoughts are with Christine, Ben, Edward and their families."

Brooke-Taylor's career spanned more than six decades and his comedic roots lay in the Cambridge Footlights.

He started his broadcasting career on BBC Radio, before becoming one of the members of the anarchic Goodies TV show and later as a long-standing panellist on Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

Comedian Jack Dee, the current host of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, said: "It has come as devastating news to hear that Tim has succumbed to this dreadful virus - especially when we all thought he was recovering.

"Tim was a delightful man and never anything but great company. It has always been one of the great joys of my career to work with someone who was part of the comedy landscape of my childhood."

Sad indeed. A part of my childhood / adolescence & early 20’s.

The 1948 show was a blast from my past.

A blast from the days of British stuff on the ABC and 3 channels to choose from.

Regular watcher of the Goodies. Eky Thump.

World didn't lose its shit when Graeme Garden went black face as a boxer.

Imagine the outrage today!
