Search for Peace is a jazz instrumental composed by McCoy Tyner. It was first recorded and released in 1967 on the Blue Note album The Real McCoy. The track features McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on drums, Joe Henderson on tenor sax, and Ron Carter on bass. It showcases Tyner’s modal, post-bop approach and a serene, searching mood suggested by the title. The Real McCoy sessions were produced by Alfred Lion with Rudy Van Gelder engineering, and the album was released on April 21, 1967. An English lyric version was later added by Flora Purim in 1974, and the tune has been covered and adapted by many artists since.
