Johannes in retroland

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 in late-1965, McCoy 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.”
