McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy (RVG) (1967) Genre: Jazz (Hard Bop)

McCoy Tyner forged his sound as a leader on the amazing session with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Coltrane bandmate Elvin Jones. All five distinctive compositions have become jazz standards. A perfect record and an essential one, too.

Bluenote reviewer:

Of all the numerous albums this influential pianist/composer has recorded in his illustrious career, "The Real McCoy" is the best, most consistent and most memorable Tyner CD I have ever listened to - not to mention the same adjectives used to describe jazz CDs in general. From the scorching up-tempo composition ("Passion Dance") to the slow yet profound ballad ("Contemplation") to the lively polyrhythmic inferno ("Four by Five") to even the artist's unique understanding of the blues ("Blues on the Corner"), this is undoubtedly one disc worth picking up at the local music shop.



Amazon.com reviewer:

This is one of pianist McCoy Tyner's most famous records and features him with fellow Coltrane Quartet member, drummer Elvin Jones. The bass is played by the excellent Ron Carter whilst the only horn is played by tenor maestro Joe Henderson. Whilst the expectations are likely to be music in the spirit of John Coltrane, Henderson is more his own man. The combination of Tyner and Jones has an interesting effect on tenor players and the meeting with Wayne Shorter on "Ju-Ju" (another classic) sees Shorter sounding more like Coltrane than on any other outing. Here, Henderson pursues his unique and unorthodox style, his meandering approach hoovering up all the harmonic possibilities.

Of the five tracks it is true that the opening , modal, "Passion Dance" (based on two chords) and the mournful "Contemplation" are just the things Coltrane dug. However, the next track "Four by five" plays around with time signatures (still working out just how !) and is far more eubullient than anything Tyner recorded with his old boss. "Search for peace" is a beautiful ballad and the closing "Blues on the corner" has all the lopsided humour of Monk. And with Jones pushing things along from his drums, you can bet that the music really swings.
