All proceeds from the old school hip hop and R & B night will go to helping them get back on their feet.

McCoy Tyner Trio
“McCoy Tyner’s blues-based piano style, replete with sophisticated chords and an explosively percussive left hand has transcended conventional styles to become one of the most identifiable sounds in improvised music.

Joining Tyner’s trio on these dates is “downtown” guitar master Marc Ribot.” http://mccoytyner.com/
