1994?
BBC Jazz Legends:
A Real Audio on-line interview. Excellent!
This interview is probably from late 2001, as there is a hint that it is after Billy Higgins passed away.
1968 - 1973
University of Michigan African Music Collection
Prof. James Standifer
Deals with McCoy Tyner's ealry years, before and during the time with John Coltrane. Not very well edited or the best researched interview, e.g., John Coltrane is repeatedly written as John Cole Train! There is a video/film of the interview at the university.
