Born in Philadelphia on December 11, 1938, McCoy Tyner was encouraged by his mother to study piano as a youth and began lessons at age 13. Within two years, music had become the focal point of his life, and Tyner was playing on his neighbor's instrument. However, his family soon invested in one of his own for the budding musician, after which he began hosting jam sessions at home. Among his friends were a number of other young musicians who would go on to make their mark in the field of jazz, including Lee Morgan, Archie Shepp, Bobby Timmons, Reggie Workman, and most notably, fellow pianist Bud Powell and his brother Richie. McCoy later said, "Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighborhood. Bud was a major influence on me during my early teens. He was very dynamic." Tyner later attended the West Philadelphia Music School and the Granoff School of Music.
Also included as part of this collection is a rare, previously unreleased recording of a jam session undertaken by members of John Coltrane's group in Munich in 1961, led by Eric Dolphy on bass clarinet and McCoy Tyner on piano. This unique and rarely heard recording also featured Reggie Workman on bass, Mel Lewis on drums, and Coltrane himself contributed trumpet to one number.
This complete 4 CD collection, containing almost five hours of music, showcases all of Tyner's work with Impulse! As a bandleader, bringing together McCoy Tyner's finest early releases during a period when the great man went from being a breakaway from John Coltrane's group to a fully-fledged international and widely respected jazz bandleader in his own right. This boxed set will thus serve as both a welcome reminder of this sublime musician's best ever work, or as a starting point for those not yet flying the flag.
