Introducing the 3 Sounds is the debut album by jazz group The Three Sounds featuring performances recorded in 1958 and released on the Blue Note label. The CD reissue includes five bonus tracks and one alternate take originally issued in Japan as Introducing the 3 Sounds Volume 2. It would be the first Blue Note release to feature short lived catalogue numbering "BLP 16.." for mono issues and "BST 16.." for stereo releases (1600 series).
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 5 stars stating "The Three Sounds never really deviated from the sound they established on Introducing, but that's one of the things that is so remarkable — they were fully formed on their very first album. Even if it was a peak, it wasn't the only peak in their career. They would often match the heights of this album, but this debut remains a shining jewel in their catalog, and the way to become acquainted with their sound".
All compositions by Gene Harris except as indicated
