Charles Tyler, from Albert Ayler's band, makes a startling
statement on his debut solo record. His group, featuring an
unusual instrumentation of cello, bass, drums, orchestra
vibes, and saxophone, plays through his original compositions
and showcases some heated solos.
Although primarily known as a baritone sax player, Charles
Tyler is featured on alto sax yet his sound and concept are
fully evident on this record.
"Alto and baritone saxophonist Charles Tyler, one of the major
voices in avant-garde jazz, began playing with Albert Ayler in
Cleveland in the early 1960s, and soon followed Ayler east to
take part in New York's fertile jazz scene. While continuing
to play with Ayler in NYC (appearing on both Bells and Spirits
Rejoice), Tyler also began leading his own sessions, and in
1966 ESP-Disk released his fiery debut as front man, the
Charles Tyler Ensemble, featuring Charles Moffett on orchestra
vibes, Joel Friedman on cello, Henry Grimes on bass and Ronald
Shannon Jackson on drums."
