The Real McCoy is the seventh album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner and his first released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded on April 21, 1967 following Tyner’s departure from the John Coltrane Quartet and features performances by Tyner with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Elvin Jones.

There is absolutely no concession to commercialism, and there’s a deep, passionate love for the music embedded in each of the selections”  [source]
