Asante is an album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded in 1970 and features performances by Tyner with alto saxophonist Andrew White, guitarist Ted Dunbar, bassist Buster Williams, drummer Billy Hart, percussionist Mtume and vocalist "Songai" Sandra Smith appearing on two tracks.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Asante is a bit unusual for the emphasis is on group interplay rather than individual solos."[1] The CD release adds three tracks that originally appeared on the album Cosmos (1976).
