McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy LP xx1984 and Yoko Ono

and Yoko Ono

That manic rock 'n' roll energy is much more prominent here than sweaty basketball shorts

Established at the end of the decade in response to The Nun's growing affiliations with major music labels

and only playing music for family and friends

McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy LP xx1984 and Yoko OnoAs the first album that McCoy Tyner made after splitting with Coltranes freer work in the mid 60s, lovers of that late phase Coltrane material could see The Real McCoy at the very least as a comfortable revisiting of bop playing and composing. But I also cant go by that piano solo on Passion Dance for its incredible cluster chords and out of this world left hand syncopationthats the Real McCoy! Mitch
