McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy


One of the things I like most about John Coltrane's music is McCoy Tyner's piano playing (Have a listen to My Favourite Things, as an example): he's got such an unfettered style.

This album was his first after leaving the Coltrane fold, and his Blue Note debut. Joe Henderson, Elvin Jones and (of course) Ron Carter keep him company and match his intensity. This must've sounded fucking wild in 1967.

I'd promised myself I was going to pick up a few more of those superb quality Blue Note reissues and this is one of them.

The Nation · Jazz Off the RecordIn the late 1960s, the recording industry lost interest in America’s greatest art form. But in a small, dark club on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, jazz legends were playing the best music you’ve never heard.

This live date with McCoy Tyner has just been released! It’s a scorcher. As Elias Haslanger wrote on Facebook, “JoeHen and McCoy are bending time and space. The entire band is destroying planets. The first tune is 20min at 380bpm! Yes JoeHen and McCoy are going off like wild men but how does DeJohnette and Grimes keep up that tempo and intensity for 20min? Unreal performances.”
