This 1967 quartet was McCoy Tyner's first for Blue Note as a leader, although he had frequently recorded as a sideman for the label--with Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, and Grant Green, among others. One of the last recordings produced by Blue Note founder Alfred Lion, and Tyner's first as a leader since leaving the legendary John Coltrane Quartet two years before, the session has a special quality. There's something of the Blue Note sound to the group's concentrated intensity, perhaps Lion's contribution as well as engineer Rudy Van Gelder's, while Tyner, a more conservative musician than Coltrane, was integrating the modal and expressionist forms of the Coltrane quartet into more tightly defined compositional patterns. In tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, Tyner found a true peer, another musician with a strong identity whose style represented a similar amalgam of conventional and innovative elements. Together with drummer Elvin Jones, and bassist Ron Carter, they both reassert the hard-bop mainstream with "Four by Five" and the deep blues of "Blues on the Corner" and extend it with the heightened solemnity of "Search for Peace" and the brilliant rhythmic interplay of "Passion Dance." --Stuart Broomer

Album Description

McCoy Tyner forged his sound as a leader on the amazing session with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Coltrane bandmate Elvin Jones. All five distinctive compositions have become jazz standards. A perfect record and an essential one too.

A must-have 60's blue note!.......2007-01-07

Like Coltrane's rhythm section with Joe Henderson! But Ron Carter on bass gives it some different directions. Great playing, great tunes, great Van Gelder sound - it doesn't get better than this.

Bones!!.......2006-12-10

A rambling ride! Endlessly interesting. Whether fully churned or lazily meandering these players are top notch explorers. A charming work. Get it!

a very serious pianist.......2006-11-07

except for ron carter replacing bob cranshaw on bass, the personnel here is the same as on david henderson's inner urge. what seemed like a quiet conspiracy between tyner and jones on inner urge becomes a ruling empire by the two on the real mccoy.
all the selections were written by tyner. his playing is no less than brilliant. he plays with focus and such virtuosity that on passion dance it sounds like two pianos are playing at the same time.
jones' drumming dominates behind the piano. joe henderson seems to have been invited just for the ride. he gets a chance to stretch on four by five where he explores different registers. this isn't henderson's best recording. but not his fault, tyner doesn't write well for sax players.

McCoy Breaks Loose.......2004-11-22

This cd is a showcase for the younger McCoy Tyner's compositional and improvisational styles. It captures this master musician at a crossroads between the harder core modal music that he had been recording with John Coltrane a few years earlier and points the way to his own signature style that would emerge in later recordings. The quartet assembled here is perfectly matched and these 4 fine musicians created something of lasting value. Elvin Jones' drumming is dynamic and innovative, Ron Carter's bass playing is awesome and Joe Henderson's tenor provides the perfect counterweight to Tyner's piano. Henderson uses a combination of the lyrical with subtle and artful touches of dissonance that makes his sound unique and distinguished among jazz players. I think he may be the most underrated of the great sax players of his generation.
McCoy Tyner's compositional talents are stunning and the man has put out an amazing amount of great music over the years. He continues to this day to be one of the top innovators out there. The Real McCoy is an essential recording for anyone who wants to understand an important part of his evolution as an artist.

McCoy Tyner At His Best.......2004-08-28

McCoy Tyner is one of the most influential pianists after 1960 because of his highly innovative style. However, like most geniuses, he did not always play in this way. He has lots of recordings to his credit where he plays in a traditional way. During his time with John Coltrane, he intentionally developed his own personal style. Bill Evans did the same thing around the time he worked with Miles Davis. This album is the best showcase of Tyner's unique style improvisational style and Tyner's unique compositional style. It also features some of the best musicians in modern jazz. Joe Henderson is on the tenor saxophone, Jimmy Garrison is on the bass, and Elvin Jones is on the drums.
"Passion Dance" kicks off the album, and it shows McCoy's talent for writing a modal song. It has one theme that is repeated many times, and then it goes to a second theme. The musicians improvise over an F7 for as long as they wish. However, one of the characteristics of McCoy's style is that he reharmonizes a lot, taking the same pattern through many different keys. His style is about as fierce as piano players get, pounding the lower keys on the piano and hammering out chords with his left hand, and his right hand runs through pentatonic scales. Joe Henderson's playing on this track is equally as fierce and loud. You hear more ferocity on the driving "Four By Five" later in the album.
This record is not just aggressive, though. "Contemplation" (the second tune) is one of my favorite McCoy songs. The melody is yearning and haunting, but delicate and beautiful at the same time. McCoy's use of repetition is prevalent here, too. The other ballad on this song is "Search for Peace", but it is not as good as "Contemplation".
The final track is "Blues on the Corner". Although it is a blues, it reeks of McCoy's style. It does not sound like a traditional blues, but its new sound shows how versatile the blues form is. This is a blues that both sounds like McCoy and retains the feel a blues must have to come off right. It is a great way to finish this album because it shows while McCoy's music is new and innovative, he hasn't forgotten the blues, which has always been a big part of every era in jazz.
This album is appropriately titled the Real McCoy because it is a wonderful showcase of McCoy's style (both as a composer and as a piano player). This is McCoy at his freshest and most innovative. If you want to know why McCoy Tyner is one of the biggest geniuses of modern jazz, you should pick up this album.

Another Night is formulaic dance pop--no surprises, no exceptions. Each song is exactly like the one before it: female vocal during the chorus, male rap during the bridge, Dick-and-Jane drum patterns. The formula is undeniably catchy, but its shelf life is even more limited than that of most dance pop. Enjoy the short ride this album provides, but jump off quickly before it becomes annoying. --Beth Bessmer

Sharing an experience.......2006-04-07

I'm a musician who lives in Tampa. Sometimes I go out of town to play shows, and usually I bring two outfits but about 100 CDS with me for the car trip.

I played in Miami a couple weeks ago, and I found myself with 6 hours before the show and nothing to do. I drove down to the Florida Keys, alone. And one of the only CDS I had with me was the "Another Night" CD by The Real McCoy. Everyone knows all the hits, but later on in the CD there's some pretty ambient and trancey sounds. It was a really magical day, riding through the swamps and waters of the southern most part of our country, with the trance-like soundtrack of this CD (and the Pointer Sisters "Energy" album). "I want You" especially sticks out in my head...with its dissont church bell interlude and almost baby-like female chant vocals.

This CD certainly is a piece of pop fluff, but of the most endearing kind. The hooks are priceless, the Deep Bass male vocals of the raps are so campy and ridiculous. But in the 1990s, we danced like our lives depended on it, and many times it did. This was the soundtrack of great times, great loves, and a time when things were so idealistically great all we could do was smile and dance...

"Run away...run away...run away if you want to survive"...

My drive to the keys is a day I will never forget...

amazing dance/pop party album.......2006-01-10

I got a CD player for my birthday in summer 1995 and the first CD's I bought with my birthday money were TLC's CrazySexyCool and this one upon hearing the hits constantly on the radio. This CD has sugary dance pop songs with happy vibes and sweet melodies and I could ilsten to the whole thing without skipping a song. People loved Ace of Base but Real McCoy had mastered the europop craze. I have memories of going on road trips with my family and blasting this from the speakers on a warm sunny day which really put me in the mood. 11 years later and it's still a beautiful feel good CD although you can hear it's age in the music. So what if the girls weren't the real singers at least they weren't anything like milli vanilli.

Enjoyable 90's Club Music.......2005-08-01

This CD may have came out in 1995 but the song "Another Night" was a club staple for most of the 90's. Real McCoy also had a hit with the song "Runaway." This CD just totally takes me back to my 90's club days. It's an enjoyable CD and I still listen to it when I work out.

This is a good record. .......2005-06-24

This is a very good record. There's some really cool melodies and the music has a nice tempo. My favourite tracks are 2 and 6, really cool pop-R&B songs. The Australian version of this album had a cool remix of 'Love and devotion' which I liked more than the original. The original tries to be a bit like a Macarena, which is alright. I like the vocals, they're not over-emotional, they're quite balanced in that regard. It's a catchy record. It perfectly reflects 90's pop culture, electronica, nights and dancing. Nice album.

It's good.......2005-07-24

This is hard for me to review because I have the 15-track European version rather than the 12 track -US version. Because the beautiful vocals of 'Karin Kasar' are not here on this album, the album is split between songs that Vanessa sings like Karin and there are other songs she sings in her own style. On my edition, tracks 2-5 are 'Give a little love', 'The sky is the limit', 'Tomorrow' and 'I wanna come with you'. My personal opinion of these songs is that they are excellent girl-pop songs. Vanessa has some lyric-writing credits here and she helps deliver the sultry soul-ballad 'Look at me'. This is a very complex song, accomplished song, like a ballad written by a progressive rock band. The Real McCoy were a great band, as 'Love is a stranger' proves, a catchy pop song with some fantastic synth passages. Party is heaps of fun and Take a look at your life is also another dark song, again lyrics co-written by Vanessa. The European version has three songs the American version doesn't, 'Silly', 'Party' and 'Start loving me'. Silly is a fun song, like 'Party', but Start loving me is an experimental song that combines folk elements with aggressive, Limp-Bizkit like rage-rap.

If I may, I would also like to complement the band for comming up with some great textures. The "intergalactic" texure on 'Give a little love' is priceless, and then there's heaps of great textures that paint a picture in your mind. For example, there's a "bubbly" texture to the bass on 'Love save me' and then there's other songs that have really intruiging textures that I can't really describe, but fairly cloud-like and colourful. I really liked that.

This paragraph is only criticism: I personally felt there was a little bit of 'over-singing' and forced vocals, notably the catch line to 'Save me' isn't a very pretty vocal, very forced sounding. But most of the time the vocals are fairly natural in their delivery.

I think this is a good, solid album, don't hesitate to buy if you like this band (unless you are starving or have hit bad times). Anyway, you can check out the Amazon.com music samples to see if you like it or not.

Excellent Euro-pop/techno/house CD.......2005-03-19

I miss the days of house and techno music on the top 40. This album is like a microcosm of those few years. Real McCoy's first album (Another Night) contained all their biggest hits, like "Another Night", "Runaway", and "Come And Get Your Love", but this album is actually better.

Great tracks include "Take A Look At Your Life", "One More Time", "Give A Little Love", and "Love Is A Stranger".

The Euro-pop craze was over at this point (1997), techno and house having retreated back to the clubs and the discos. Looking back now, from an almost unbelievable distance in regards to pop music styles, it's possible to appreciate the brilliance of material like this. So slip it into the CD player and turn up the bass.

Germans Light Up the Sky.....AGAIN!.......2004-02-17

I remember when I first heard the Irresistible "One More Time" on the radio sometime in 1997 or 1998. I knew that one of my favorite bands at that time was back again, Lightning stroke twice! And "One More Time" sounded Energetic, Catchy with great Beat, and very similar to "Another Night" or "Runaway". Simply a Great Dance/Pop track.

This album starts with the Awesome "One More Time" and it delivers an Unstoppable string of HITS, yeah they are all nothing less than Great Dance, and 2 songs some are slower, but they are Great and Beautiful Love songs.

Unlike the first album, that had 3 Covers, this album has only One, and it's an Awesome Fast Classic EuroDance cover of Shania Twain's hit "If You're Not in It for Love", written by the Great Mutt Lange. It's a Great Classic EuroDance take on this Already Great song. It Picks you up and does not let you down.

All other songs on this album are Original songs, All written by the talented team of Jeglitza/Argovits/J Wind, they're talented songcrafters.

Actually "Love Save Me" was written by Billy Steinberg and Rick Nowels, who wrote one song for their 1-st album too. It's a Great Synth/Dance song!

Actually all songs have Electronic/Synth elements, and are All Great, many are done in a Reggae/Dance style with synths! Great Synths, Beats, and Great Melodies, Female Vocals and Male Rap (sometimes Reggae Rap too). Great Stuff!!

I would like to single out "Love is a Stranger" because it's one of my Extra Extra favorite synth/dance songs on this CD. They are All my favorite though, so hard to pick out.
BTW "Take a Look at Your Life" is a Great Dance song about money (of all things!).

There are also 2 of the Most Beautiful Love Ballads on this Album. These are "Look At Me" and "Tomorrow". Both of these are just Heavenly and their Beauty is Beyond words, one needs to hear them. They are very heart-warming.

I've had this album for a long time, and I still enjoy Listening to it. It's FANTASTIC DANCE/POP/TECHNO. A Must for any Pop/Dance collection. I just wish Arista promoted them more in US. They got little promotion.

Thank You for reading this review.

One More Time.......2003-06-27

While the explosive title track is one of the catchiest Euro-pop hits in years, Real McCoy's second LP, One More Time, doesn't quite pack as strong of a punch on the rest of the tracks. "I Wanna Come (With You)" and "Give A Little Love" are both energetic but marred by clichéd lyricism, as are much of the other songs. Their double-platinum debut, Another Night, successfully mixed R&B vocal stylings with the Berman Brother's brand of upbeat dance-pop, but on One More Time this basic formula spreads itself too thin. There is such a thing as sophomore slump, but more times than not it's due to the artists' and their producers' impulses to re-manufacture the sounds of their first outing.

"The Real McCoy" is the Real McCoy.......2005-08-14

When you play with someone like John Coltrane, people notice you fast, for obvious reasons.

Yet, this is a double edge sword... how many listeners did really interiorize McCoy's approach other than brilliant sideman when Coltrane was such an imposing figure... after all how often do giants walk the earth?...

McCoy Tyner is a jazz institution, and this album a jazz gem... he cleverly pursued this with all the intent of showcasing the rest of Coltrane band... and from the get-go you notice some interesting things.
First the intensity is there... the first track,"Passion Dance" is a perfect first track for this album... the intensity is there as much as anything done with Coltrane, but rather than inmersing in the vortex that was Coltrane, this comes from a whole other place... as if the band that invented a whole language, all of a sudden makes an effort to show you that they speak this language as well.

Joe Henderson provides the saxophone voice... this is interesting, to me this is in fact the most interesting aspect, the sheer courage of this decision is what I lke most about this record... imagine if you will, the Miles Davis Quintet making an album with Clifford Brown, or Pat Metheny Group making an album with Bill Frisell.

This band could have easily made the session, experimenting with other voices, like trumpet, guitar, vibes, etc... but no, rather the same instrument, and needless to say with another giant of the instrument... but a giant of a whole different breed.

So the guts are also there... this is gutsy music, no nonsense jazz.

This set of songs are like a good affair... like a guilty pleasure, but in the twisted world of jazz, in wich the more permanent marriage is wilder, more adventurous and reckless and the affair is more contemplative, familiar and controlled.

McCoy Tyner looked for whole other avenue in the setting he already was in (one wich many consider the epitome of it) and actually managed to find it.

Superb.......2000-05-31

For me, it was always very hard to imagine to listen to either Elvin Jones or McCoy Tyner without John Coltrane. Tyner's very powerful style added a lot to Coltrane's ecstatic way to play the sax, and I enjoy Tyner's soloes on, say, the complete Village Vanguard recordings a lot. This CD does not have John Coltrane on it but it doesn't really matter! McCoy Tyner is in such a superb form that it is absolutely amazing to listen to what he is doing on the piano. It's sheer power and energy. If you enjoy listening to the energetic performances by Coltrane, you will certainly like this CD, too.

Tightly structured album of stellar musicians.......2000-04-23

Comparing this album to any of Tyner's extensive recordings in Coltrane's quartet would be unfair. It's obvious that Tyner enjoys the stylized playing known from Coltrane, but isn't interested here in exploring free forms. Tyner's compositions are complex & focused, truly more in the vein of Dave Brubeck or Donald Byrd than Coltrane (although Tyner is a lot less repetitive in his piano playing that Brubeck). The lack of "improvisational" arrangements is more than made up for by the work of Coltrane's drummer Elvin Jones and Miles Davis' bassist supreme, Ron Carter. Joe Henderson's sax makes a nice task of complimenting Tyner's tricky piano playing without overshadowing it.

Like Coltrane's other pianist Red Garland, Tyner creates jazz with a wonderful group that support his quite-busy two hands.

McCoy has at least 40 fingers.......2000-03-21

I first got amazed by mc coy tyner on John Coltrane's My Favorite Things, where he goes ballistic for some time in the middle of the piece as he does often. This cd is excellent, the first song, passion dance, is my favorite, perhaps the one I listen to the most. I just saw mccoy last night in cambridge, he played a solo that almost put me in tears. His finger speed and precision and melody and ability to get off o different tangents, soft, hard, fast, slow, is unsurpassed. I think he is the best pianist I've ever heard.

Intense and beautiful.......2000-03-15

A great C.D. The first track is a little abrasive to the ears but the rest of the album is great.

Good But, Could Have Been Better........2005-07-09

Ok I will be the first one to admit that I am a die hard Real Mccoy/MC SAR & The Real Mccoy fan and have been since their first album "On The Move" and this review might be a little biased but I will do my best to review this objectively. This album is basically a compilation of the groups greatest hits. No new material it's your basic greatest hits album, there's not much more I can say about that. The music however, speaks for itself. It's the same great eurodance music with beautiful vocals and amazing rapping that most of us know Real Mccoy for. These tracks are from the groups debut album under the name Real Mccoy,"Another Night" and their follow up "One More Time". Some reviewers have called Real Mccoy the "Milli Vanilli of Eurodance" but that is not quite accurate. Real Mccoy's public line up originally consisted of Olaf 'O-Jay' Jeglitza and Patricia 'Pasty' Peterson. While O-Jay did do the raps himself Patsy never did sing on the album "Another Night" it was a studio vocalist by the name of Karin Kasar and she did a wonderful job on the tracks but was never put into the forefront because of some Image issues, but that is nothing new it's been happening in the music biz for years. Vanessa Mason joined later and after Patsy left Lisa Cork joined for the second album which Vanessa and Lisa did sing on. That being said on with the review:

All of the songs on this album are very good, very likeable, and still very danceable considering that most of the songs on this album are at least 10 years old ('One More Time', 'I Wanna Come', 'I'm Outta Here' and 'Tonight' being the exceptions the were all released on the album 'One More Time' in 1997). Most people looking at this cd are probably familiar enough with the songs from 'Another Night' so I will skip the play-by-play on those songs. 'One More Time', 'I Wanna Come', 'I'm Outta Here' and 'Tonight' are great songs and deserved a lot more airplay than they got here in America. They all had the capabilities of being big hits, but the lack of decent promotion and radio airplay killed that. These tracks are down right fun and very danceable, it's Eurodance at it's best. My biggest problem is that there were many tracks from the 'One More Time' album that should have been on here instead of this virtually a carbon copy of 'Another Night' with added bonus tracks. 8 of the tracks on this album came from 'Another Night' so it kind of makes the album seem a little off-balanced. All in all it is a great album and I would recommend that fans of Real Mccoy pick it up, I just wish there were more tracks from 'One More Time' on it.

Great music but shoddy collection. .......2004-08-31

This 12 track collection compiles selected tracks from Real McCoy's two albums 1995's "ANother Night" and 1997's "One More Time" and the result is a mixed bag. FIrst off I don't understand how they could really assemble a 'hits' or collection like this from just a mere two albums when there weren't enough singles to warrant this. Their first album was a smash hit and is still popular almost a decade later but their second album didn't come anywhere close to the success of the former. Now don't get me wrong, these are all great tracks and they are all classics in my book but even then, this is a poorly developed collection and the songs feel totally out of place. "Operator" is a great track but it is surely not the best closing track to any CD, compilation or proper studio-album. "Tonight" which is placed in the wrong track slot is the best closing track and it brilliantly closed out their "One More Time" album and their recording career on a high note. Not that this collection closes on a bad note by any means because "Operator" because it is a wonderful dance classic but the album feels like a cliffhanger. Overall, not a bad collection but they could really have done a much better job at assembling it.

Music like a malfunctioning machine.......2004-07-19

Back in the middle of the 1990s, the Real McCoy were the most important dance music group on the airwaves. At the time, their music was a constant presence in pubs and clubs in Australia.

Whilst it is possible for me to take some music I hear on the radio quite easily even if I am not attached to it, the Real McCoy were very different, and different in a bad kind of way. Whereas the eighties synth pop bands quite successfully disguised what they wished they were capable of through the use of guitars, basses and drums to blend in with the synthesisers, 1990s dance artists (hardly "bands" given how the music is produced) made their music into the most purely mechanised formula that has ever been seen.

The result is that I could never, ever stand listening to the Real McCoy when they came onto the radio, especially with the bad-imitation rap that dominated the vocals on such a song as "Another Night" - their most famous hit. Even when the very bland, but still highly tuneful, female vocals enter, there is simply no contrast. Moreover, the mechanised beats create an image of the most unhealthy, most roboticised world one can imagine - terrifying in itself, but made even worse when one tries to consider how tuneless and repetitive the music sound without the voice.

Along with such artists as the Outhere Brothers, JX, 4PM, and La Bouche, the Real McCoy turned me away from the music of the pop charts. This tuneless, imitation disco/rap hybrid really does not belong on your CD rack.

Great Song!.......2001-09-07

I first heard the album version of RunAway in 1995, and while I liked the song, it didn't set me on fire. Fast forward to early 1999. I heard this FANTASTIC remix on the radio and completely fell in love with the song. I plan on buying the CD single and wearing it out!!

MC SAR & THE REAL McCOY are the Best!!!!.......1999-05-17

The song "Run Away" is the best eurodance song out there. I listen to this song at least once a day, and never once get sick of it. In fact, it's such a great song that they are starting to put it back on the radio again! The Club Attack Mix is the best Run Away version on the CD and gives me chills when I listen to it. I hope the group stays together for a very long time, and comes up with lots more eurodance tracks just like the song Run Away!

M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy will LIVE FOREVER........1999-04-07

This song is one of the best things entering the United States. HI N-R-G with fabulous vocals done by Patricia Peterson, you cannot go wrong. Now, providing this with this import, which contains an excellent "REEL HOUSE MIX," why are they asking $14 for it? Lower the price, and maybe somone will buy it?
