About
After six albums as a leader for Impulse!, pianist McCoy Tyner made the move to Blue Note in 1967 with <i>The Real McCoy</i>, an iconic jazz document of the era and Tyner’s first record of all-original material. It was Tyner’s extensive work on Impulse! with the John Coltrane Quartet that had rocketed him to prominence. Here he wa, two years after leaving Coltrane, recording roughly three months before the tenor giant’s untimely death. A new post-Coltrane era was in the offing. Yet <i>The Real McCoy</i> found Tyner in the company of Coltrane drummer and bandmate Elvin Jone. It’s in the slowly churning swing of “Contemplation” that we hear one of the purest examples of an Elvin Jones feel—a supple, elastic groove that has proven timelessly influential. The closing “Blues on the Corner,” one of Tyner’s catchiest and most characteristic melodie, is another Jones vehicle for the age. .
