In 1967, pianist McCoy Tyner was ready for a new start. He had left the seminal John Coltrane Quartet two years prior 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 with Tyner joined by tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Elvin Jones, the album presented five enduring Tyner originals including “Passion Dance,” “Search for Peace,” and “Blues on the Corner.” One can hear the tumultuous 1960s in his playing, grounded with Tyner’s own spirituality, contrasting percussive explosions with his own gentle nature. The music is invigorating and full of surprises, giving listeners a definitive look at the brilliance of the great McCoy Tyner.
