180 Gram Vinyl Remastered from the Original Masters!
Tyner's blues-based piano style, replete with sophisticated chords and an explosively percussive left hand has transcended conventional styles to become one of the most identifiable sounds in improvised music. His harmonic contributions and dramatic rhythmic devices form the vocabulary of a majority of jazz pianists.
Tyner has always expanded his vision of the musical landscape and incorporated new elements, whether from distant continents or diverse musical influences. More recently he has arranged for big bands, employed string arrangements, and even reinterpreted popular music. Today, Tyner has released nearly 80 albums under his name, earned four Grammys and was awarded Jazz Master from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2002. He continues to leave his mark on generations of improvisers, and yet remains a disarmingly modest and spiritually directed man.
Blue Bossa is a 1991 album by McCoy Tyner released on the LRC label. It was recorded in February 1991 and features performances by Tyner with Avery Sharpe, Aaron Scott, Raphael Cruz and Claudio Roditi.
"McCoy Tyner has had an illustrious career. From working as a sidemen on John Coltranes A Love Supreme to his classic jazz albums as a frontman such as The Real McCoy... [I]f you give it an opportunity you will find value and delight in listening to Blue Bossa... [A]n enjoyable experience [for] fans of jazz, bossa nova, and music in general." - The Jazz Loop
