Involution is an album by multi-instrumentalist Michael Marcus, with the Jaki Byard trio.

The album was recorded in 1998. [4] The tracks are a mix of Marcus originals and standards that are played relatively infrequently. [1] Marcus plays a variety of saxophones: the stritch (a form of soprano), saxello (a straight alto), and a straight tenor. [1]
The album was released by Justin Time on March 30, 1998. [5]
The AllMusic reviewer commented that this album was more conventional in style than many of Marcus's other recordings. [1]
