It's About Time (McCoy Tyner & Jackie McLean album)


It's About Time is a 1985 album by McCoy Tyner and Jackie McLean, the first released on the re-established Blue Note label. It was recorded in April 1985 and features performances by Tyner and McLean with Jon Faddis, Ron Carter, Al Foster, Marcus Miller, and Steve Thornton. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow calls the album "reasonably enjoyable but less memorable than one might expect".
Tyner's composition "You Taught My Heart to Sing" appears on the album in its original instrumental version. Subsequent to the recording on "It's About Time", lyricist Sammy Cahn wrote a lyric for "You Taught My Heart to Sing". Singer Dianne Reeves recorded a vocal version of the song in 1988, and the song has since been recorded by other singers.
