	Oooooo...that McCoy Tyner show looks like a possibility. What kind of stuff does he play these days? (I think I've only heard up to his 70s albums)

	I would guess that if he is doing a show with Kamasi Washington, they are going to do an all out Coltrane style mid 60s modal jam. Washington is a descendant of this style, and he does it with fire and his own personality, he is very popular right now with the 'jam-band jazz' fans, and of course Tyner is a natural for this.

	Oh. I assumed from the above blurb they would be separate shows.
