McCoy Tyner: The Real McCoy LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition)
Blue Note, 1967
In 1967, pianist McCoy Tyner was ready for a new start. He had left John Coltrane’s quartet two years previously and moved on from Coltrane’s label Impulse! Records, as well. With his Blue Note debut, The Real McCoy, he made his masterpiece and firmly established himself as a creative force of his own. Featuring a world-class quartet featuring saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer – and former Coltrane quartet bandmate – Elvin Jones, the album presents five enduring Tyner originals including “Passion Dance,” “Search for Peace,” “Blues on the Corner,” and the blazing “Four By Five.”
