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).
