The sessions feature two distinct lineups: a sextet with fiery trumpeter Thad Jones and saxophonist John Gilmore on the modal burner “Contemporary Focus,” and a trio with bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath on the lyrical title track. Tyner’s signature style—those roaring fourth-chord voicings in the left hand, cascading right-hand lines, and a rhythmic ferocity that swings even at its most avant-garde—is on full display.

Released in the wake of John Coltrane’s classic quartet, Today And Tomorrow finds pianist McCoy Tyner at a pivotal crossroads. Recorded in 1963 and 1964—during his final years with Coltrane—but not issued until 1966, this album captures Tyner’s transition from a formidable sideman into a bold, visionary bandleader.
