McCoy Tyner – The Real McCoy (1967/2012) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/192kHz]

Originally released as Blue Note BLP 4264 (mono) and BST 84264 (stereo)

The Real McCoy is an engaging and energizing set that finds the extraordinary pianist in peak form. The album highlights his development as both a composer and a performer. For his first album on Blue Note Records, McCoy is joined by Elvin Jones, Ron Carter and Joe Henderson. The quartet performs riveting tunes including “Passion Dance” and “Four by Five.”

Two and a half years after his last recording as a leader for Impulse, pianist McCoy Tyner emerged to start a period on Blue Note that would result in seven albums. Having left John Coltrane’s Quartet in late 1965, Tyner was entering a period of struggle, although artistically his playing grew quite a bit in the late ’60s. For this release, the pianist is teamed with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Elvin Jones for five of his originals. Highlights of the easily recommended album include “Passion Dance,” “Four by Five,” and “Blues on the Corner”.

Tracklist:
01 – Passion Dance
02 – Contemplation
03 – Four by Five
04 – Search for Peace
05 – Blues On the Corner

“In preparing these hi def remasters, we were very conscientious about maintaining the feel of the original releases while adding a previously unattainable transparency and depth. It now sounds like you’ve set up your chaise lounge right in the middle of Rudy Van Gelder’s studio!” — Blue Note President, Don Was.
