Solo: Live from San Francisco is a live album by McCoy Tyner released on his McCoy Tyner Music (a subsidiary of Half Note Records) label in 2009. It was recorded at the Herbst Theatre as part of the San Francisco Jazz Festival's Spring Series in May 2007 and features a solo performance by Tyner.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos states that "Tyner tackles the solo spotlight once again, as his talent rises, soars, and takes off while the program continues for some 50 minutes. All of the hallmarks of his sound, from up and down dynamics to the legendary crashing of chords, especially with his left hand, and the stunning virtuosity of his improvisational runs and streaks, assure you that he is in good spirits and has energy to burn off even at his advanced age... This is yet another of the many triumphant recordings Tyner has given to the world, and though always challenging for any solo artist, he easily pulls it off with nary a hitch, much spirit, and a ton of soul".^[2]
