Baritone saxophonist Charles Tyler
(1941),
who had played with Albert Ayler (1965), introduced a style that was
both lyrical and visceral on First Album (february 1966), in a quintet with cellist Joel Friedman, vibraphonist Charles Moffet, bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson,
and on
Eastern Man Alone (january 1967) for a drum-less quartet.
After a long hiatus, he returned with an even more powerful statement,
the 37-minute Saga Out of the Outlaws (may 1976).
Voyage From Jericho (july 1974) features Arthur Blythe (alto sax), Earl Cross (trumpet), Ronnie Boykins (bass) and Steve Reid (drums).
A similar line-up recorded
Folk And Mystery Stories
(april 1980),
with two new bassists, cellist David Baker
Richard Dunbar
(French horn).
