Cosmos is a double LP by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Blue Note label in July 1976. It contains material recorded in November 1968, April 1969 and July 1970 and features two trio performances by Tyner with bassist Herbie Lewis and drummer Freddie Waits, three performances with a larger group featuring saxophonists Harold Vick and Al Gibbons with a string quartet, and three performances as a sextet with flautist Hubert Laws and saxophonists Andrew White and Gary Bartz. The full album is only available on CD on the Mosaic Select 25: McCoy Tyner box set, but the three tracks from the July 21, 1970 sextet recording session also appear on the CD release of Asante.
