Oye Como Va

Here is a link to a bunch of information about "Oye Como Va" and Latin Jazz. As a musician, it's not just about learning the notes, it's also learning the story behind the music. Click here.

Tito Puente composed "Oye Como Va"

McCoy Tyner Comping in C Minor

This might come in handy on "Contemplation" because it's in the same key.

McCoy Tyner Solo Style

This is way advanced but I like that you can see the player's hand and a computer marker for each note. You can pause the video and try out the sounds for yourself.
