McCoy Tyner is one of the most prestigious jazz pianists and composers of the present time. With a musical style influenced by Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell, McCoy Tyner blends technique with lyricism and harmonic innovations to perfection. He enjoys the status of a living legend especially thanks to his collaboration as a pianist in the band of saxophonist John Coltrane, where he started at the age of just 17. He will be playing with his trio and there will be a special guest appearance by Joe Lovano on saxophone. This concert is included in the programme for the Loulé International Jazz Festival.

Their first album "Whose Side Are You On?" turned Matt Bianco into one of the biggest acts of 1984 in Europe. Mark Reilly and Mark Fisher are now back once again as a duo and have released an album, entitled "Hi Fi Bossanova" in 2009 which saw them perform in Europe, Japan and SE Asia. They will be releasing a new Greatest Hits album in 2010 followed by a summer and autumn tour all around the world to promote it with the help of their excellent 10 piece band performing all their hits.
