* The Real McCoy (Blue Note BLP 4264)

 
Review:2 1/2 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 1960's.
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 CD reissue include "Passion Dance," "Four By Five" and
"Blues On The Corner." — Scott Yanow
