The young lions were able to show some respect!
Recorded in late 1964 these sessions were respectful but not staid. The trio of McCoy, Elvin Jones and Jimmy Garrison were aided and abetted by some crisp Latin percussion, which added a distinctive flair to this release.
As with all of McCoy's initial Impulse! output, his unique sound is still coming together but already evident in his strong rhythm playing and fluid melody runs...his energy, which explodes on his later Blue Note releases, is really starting to bubble at the surface here...

Great record, I often think Tyner got over shadowed by the people he has played with with out his getting some due for himself. But that's just my opinion.
