PRE ORDER: Inception (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) - McCoy Tyner (Vinyl) (180 Gram)

Recorded on January 10 and 11, 1962 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, Inception marked McCoy Tyner's debut as a leader for Impulse! Records, introducing a cohesive new trio with bassist Art Davis and drummer Elvin Jones, both colleagues from the Coltrane ensemble, whose familiarity lends the session it's focused clarity. Across a 6-track program, featuring four Tyner originals ("Inception, " "Sunset, " "Effendi, " and "Blues for Gwen") alongside "There Is No Greater Love" and "Speak Low, " the trio setting foregrounds Tyner's distinctive voicings, pedal-point harmonies, and rhythmic drive, supported by Davis and Jones's firm, responsive interplay. Released in 1962 as Impulse! Was rapidly expanding, the album established Tyner's identity as a bandleader and stands as an essential early statement in his solo discography. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes remastered on 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
