pre-1970 versions of McCOY TYNER tunes on NON-McCoy leader dates

[Rooster_Ties]

Same kinda thing as the quite similar Chick and Herbie threads...

And if there aren't any (or many) on McCoy sidemen dates (or McCoy tunes on other McCoy-less dates), why not??

(I sure can't think of any such tunes right off the top of my head, at least not like I could with Chick and Herbie.)

(And don't worry, I'm not gonna start one of these for Andrew Hill. That'd be a one post thread -- "Rumproller"!! )

"Aisha" on Coltrane's Ole and "The Believer" on Coltrane's The Believer

I guess the answer is that as good as many of McCoy's leader-dates were, there were less actual McCoy penned tunes that really were strong enough to really achieve "quazi-standard" status.

Come to think of it, I'm having a tough time thinking of very many remakes / covers of McCoy tunes (from any decade, actually).

And most of McCoy's various "greatest hits" type releases are padded with two or three non-McCoy tunes too. (Yeah, that's cuz it's so tempting to put McCoy's versions of Contrane tunes on there, but that's not the only reason -- cuz there's a non-McCoy standard on one or two of those comps too.)

John Patton covered "Man From Tanganyika" in 1969.

Oh yeah -- forgot about that one.

Are there really no other McCoy tunes on any other 60's BN albums (besides McCoy's own leader-dates, and Patton's "Man From Tanganyika") ????
