Introducing Paul Bley is the debut album by Canadian jazz pianist Paul Bley. It was recorded for Charles Mingus' Debut label on November 30, 1953 and released on 10" LP the following year.[1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 of 5 stars, stating, "Paul Bley may not have been distinctive this early on but he clearly had a potentially strong future".[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz called it "that astonishing debut with Mingus and Blakey on which he sounds edgy and a little cautious on the standards but absolutely secure in his technique".[3]
