McCoy Tyner Inception (Verve Acoustic Sounds) Limited Vinyl LP
Overview:
Recorded for Impulse! Records in January of 1962 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, 'Inception' marked pianist McCoy Tyner's debut as a leader. This session features a cohesive trio with bassist Art Davis and drummer Elvin Jones - both colleagues from John Coltrane's groups - whose familiarity lends the session its focused clarity. Across a six-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' firm, responsive interplay. Released 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.
