Focal Point

"Focal Point," an album by McCoy Tyner, explores fusion and jazz-funk elements. Tyner blends jazz with funk, rock and fusion on electric keyboards and synthesizers with a talented cast of musicians. Classic tracks like "Focal Point," "The High Priest," and "I Thought I'd Let You Know" showcase Tyner's merging of traditional jazz with contemporary styles. An interesting milestone in his discography, it demonstrates his experimentation beyond traditional jazz. Though not as well-known as his acoustic works, it is still noteworthy for those interested in jazz of the '70s.
