invigorating and inspiring. As
Chris put it, “God blessed my
playing and gave me the ability to
play even with my asthma, so all
Glory goes to Him. I tell my story
everywhere that I play because I
want it to resonate with people just
as much as my music. You never
know who’s out there listening
and who needs to hear that the
message of God’s grace, hope and
healing. That’s why I do what I do.”
Godber’s latest album, Starting
Over has taken the airwaves
by storm. The first two singles,
“Rain” and “Chill” landed him on
the Top 50 charts of smoothjazz.
com. “Rain” hit #6 on Groove
Jazz Music Charts; both can be
heard on SIRIUS XM’s Watercolors
where they receive steady airplay.

McCoy Tyner
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. His harmonic contributions
and dramatic rhythmic devices
form the vocabulary of a majority
of jazz pianists.
In the summer of 2005, Tyner
joined forces with the Blue Note
Jazz Club in New York and
became the first client of Blue
Note Management. That summer,
Tyner began work on some unique
projects, including performances
with tap-dancer Savion Glover and
the development of the Impulse!
Septet, featuring his trio with some
of today’s top horn men.
Tyner’s partnership with the
Blue Note has led to the formation
of his own record label, aptly
titled McCoy Tyner Music. The
label is a subsidiary of the Blue
Note’s In-House record label,
Half Note Records. The label
launched on September 11,
2007, upon the release of Tyner’s
latest CD, Quartet featuring Joe
Lovano, Christian McBride, and
Jeff Tain Watts. Recorded live on
New Year’s Eve 2006, the album
features a working band at its
finest with some of today’s legends
in training. Additionally, the record
shows that Tyner, who now carries
the torch as the only surviving
member of the John Coltrane
Quartet, is still at the top
of his game as a composer,
performer, and bandleader.
Tyner has always expanded his
vision of the musical landscape
and incorporated new elements,
whether from distant continents
or diverse musical influences.
More recently he has arranged
for big bands, employed
string arrangements, and even
reinterpreted popular music.
Today, Tyner has released nearly
80 albums under his name, earned
four GRAMMYS and was awarded
Jazz Master from the National
Endowment for the Arts in 2002.
He continues to leave his mark on
generations of improvisers, and yet
remains a disarmingly modest and
spiritually directed man.
