	Recorded a mere two years after McCoy Tyner's tenure with the great John Coltrane quartet (a group considered by many to be among jazz's best-ever outfits), THE REAL MCCOY finds the pianist continuing to expand as a composer and player. The album marks Tyner's move from Impulse to Blue Note, and he sounds suitably energized, playing challenging post-bop that, while lacking the revolutionary fervor of A LOVE SUPREME, for example, still occupies the front ranks of the forward-thinking jazz of the era.
	Tyner is joined by his former Coltrane cohort Elvin Jones on drums, stalwart bassist Ron Carter, and the underrated saxophonist Joe Henderson. The quartet acquits itself admirably on five Tyner compositions, among which "Passion Dance" and "Four By Five" are the best. Coltrane's influence can be heard throughout the album, especially in the sinuous, modal approach and in Henderson's ambitious solos, but Tyner's powerful playing, wholly his own, steals the show.

Artist Overview

It would be difficult to overstate McCoy Tyner's impact on the last three decades of jazz piano, first as a member of the classic Coltrane quartet in the 1960s, and later as a leader. His thundering bass tremolos, floating quartal harmonies, and blistering pentatonic runs have become part of the lingua franca of jazz piano. Tyner's recordings have skilfully blended elements of African and Asian music with the European classical tradition, but in 1997 he surprised the jazz world with a Burt Bacharach covers album. By 2000 he had returned to form with the aptly-titled JAZZ ROOTS.
