The Law of Unassailabilty allows for that. It’s quantum physics for music fans. At the spooky distance of unassailabilty Coltrane cannot be equaled while at the same time Tyner can equal Coltrane. Classical statements which work for that which is assailable like a>b>c so therefore c<a don’t apply to the unassailable.
Tyner creates beautiful oceans of sound in those records. When he played with Coltrane he was the greatest pianist ever and he took shape as the most beautiful body of water ever known: the river. Then he was the greatest pianist ever taking place in the most beautiful body of water ever know: the ocean.
I love the way his playing opens up. He opened it up when he was supposed to and he focused it when he was supposed to.
Anyway, what you’re saying is not blasphemy because Tyner’s genius can’t be overstated.
