The Real McCoy (Album)

Occupation

The Real McCoy is the seventh album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner and the first which Blue Note Records issued. Tyner took it on April 21, 1967 after leaving the John Coltrane Quartet. It contains recordings of Tyner with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Elvin Jones. Producer Alfred Lion remembered the recording session as a pure jazz session. Lion said, "There is absolutely no concession to the commercialization and there is a deep, passionate love for this music, involved in each selected piece. "

Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of their so-called Core Collection, calling it a key album in Tyner Discography ... highly recommended.

The alleged Allmusic review by Scott Yanow that Tyner entered a phase of the effort, though his artistic game a whole lot in the late sixties grew ... easy to recommend.
