MCCOY TYNER Inception (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series 2026 limited edition LP mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog tape, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio across January 10-11, 1962, Inception marked Tyner's debut as a leader for Impulse! Records. Working in trio format with bassist Art Davis and drummer Elvin Jones, the album captures Tyner stepping out from the John Coltrane orbit with a clear identity already in place: bold left-hand architecture, ringing modal colour, rhythmic pressure and a commanding sense of space. The six-track programme balances four Tyner originals - "Inception", "Sunset", "Effendi" and "Blues For Gwen" - with readings of "There Is No Greater Love" and "Speak Low". Davis brings weight and definition to the low end, while Jones' drumming adds fire, elasticity and lift, giving the session a directness that still feels fresh more than six decades later. Housed inside a Stoughton tip-on gatefold picture sleeve. Recommended).
