McCoy Tyner —
Expansions ... LP Blue Note, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A really mindblowing session from McCoy Tyner – perfectly titled "Expansions" to showcase the change in his style at the time! The record is one of Tyner's first larger group efforts – and is a brilliant example of the expansion of his talents in the post-Coltrane years ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

McCoy Tyner —
Fly With The Wind ... CD Milestone/OJC, 1976. Used ... $4.99
Don't be put off by the late date of the session, because this is an excellent album from McCoy Tyner – and one with a very spiritual groove that's clearly inherited from Coltrane! The album's based around longer compositions arranged by Tyner, and orchestrated by the great William S Fischer ... read more CD

Impulse/Universal (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... $22.99
McCoy plays Duke, with surprisingly great results – thanks to an expanded trio format that features lots of additional percussion!

Milestone, 1978. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Darkly-tinged piano work from McCoy Tyner – recorded live, in extended takes, with long-spiralling lines that soar in his best post-Coltrane approach to the piano!

McCoy Tyner —
Today & Tomorrow ... CD Impulse/Verve, 1964. New Copy ... $11.99
A great album from McCoy Tyner – a set that's steeped in the modal soulfulness of his years with John Coltrane, but also handled in a way that really has him breaking away from the pack a bit! Half the album's played with a trio that features Jimmy Garrison on bass – but the strongest ... read more CD
McCoy Tyner —
Trident ... LP Milestone, 1975. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A nice 70s trio side with Tyner's lyrical, spiraling piano lines nicely underpinned by Elvin Jones' polyrhythms and Ron Carter's supple bass. Three Tyner originals: "Celestial Chant", "Elvin (Sir) Jones" and "Land Of The Lonely", plus Trane's "Impressions", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese 70s pressing, with insert – SMJ 6113. One corner has some very light aging – but this is a great copy overall!)
Impulse (Japan), 1962. New Copy ... $19.99
McCoy Tyner's definitely "reaching forth" here – stretching past obvious piano trio modes, thanks to hip help from Henry Grimes on bass and Roy Haynes on drums! The groove is very open and freewheeling – yet all without being avant or outside – those hip modal-inspired ... read more CD

Muza (Poland), 1974. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Rare Polish live material from two great groups – McCoy Tyner on piano with Azar Lawrence on tenor and soprano sax, playing the long "Walk Spirit Talk Spirit" – and Stan Getz on tenor in a quartet with Billy Hart on drums and Albert Dailey on piano – performing "La ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Art Union/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $24.99
A sweet set of Japanese jazz from the 70s – straight ahead, but with some great fusion undercurrents too – thanks to keyboards from Mikio Masuda, which electrify most of the tracks nicely!
