Burning Dervish Vol 23

I've been doing "McCoy Mondays" as it were for almost a year now as I try to visit every record in his discography...Now that I am knee-deep into his long run of records on Milestone from the 70s, the current time seems as good as any to pause for a re-cap of some of the music posted already...

McCoy's first two labels as a soloist/band leader were Impulse! and Blue Note. From 1962 - 64 Impulse! put out six records under McCoy's name (a later retrospective of those releases was put out at Great Moments with Mccoy Tyner)...It was almost an exact two years, with the sessions and release dates spanning January '62 thru December '64...McCoy would revisit both labels later in his career, notably in the early 90s when MCA/Universal acquired and revived the Impulse! imprint...

These first records for the label only hint at the dynamo McCoy would become on his later recordings but they each represent a step towards him establishing his own voice outside of his work at the time with Coltrane. This mix contains the tracks from McCoy's '60s Impulse! output already posted here...
