Revelations is an album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Blue Note label. It was Tyner's first solo piano album since Echoes of a Friend (1972) and first Blue Note recording (apart from 1985's It's About Time with Jackie McLean) since Asante (1970). It was recorded at Merkin Hall in New York City in October 1988.
Producer Michael Cuscuna writes in the liner notes, "McCoy did a couple of takes of 'Don't Blame Me' the first day. I was amazed. What was on tape was already beyond my expectations for the project. McCoy came downstairs for a playback and smiled, 'Boy I must be in a mood to do this!' Inspired by the environment, the piano sound and his own seemingly endless flow of ideas, McCoy set down thirteen pieces over the three days, most of them in one or two takes."
