Zach Bartholomew: Passion, Peace, and The Real McCoy

The Music of Dave Brubeck’s Time Out

Experience the bold spirit and timeless artistry of one of jazz’s most influential pianists, McCoy Tyner, in this powerful tribute to his groundbreaking 1967 Blue Note release The Real McCoy. Presented by virtuoso pianist Dr. Zachary Bartholomew, this concert honors the legacy of Tyner’s unmistakable style—marked by its deep harmonic richness, modal exploration, and spiritual depth. The evening will feature a complete performance of The Real McCoy, including iconic compositions such as “Passion Dance,” “Contemplation,” and “Search for Peace”—music that marked a pivotal moment in Tyner’s post-Coltrane career and helped shape the future of modern jazz.

In addition to performing this seminal album, Dr. Bartholomew will premiere original compositions inspired by McCoy Tyner, blending his own contemporary voice with the powerful influence of Tyner’s rhythmic complexity and lyrical intensity.

Whether you’re a longtime jazz devotee or new to Tyner’s work, this concert promises a thrilling night of musical storytelling, virtuosic improvisation, and heartfelt homage.
