eastern man alone

1967 recording by avant-garde saxophonist Charles Tyler features David Baker (cello), Brent McKesson (bass) and Kent Brinkley (bass). The album starts out with "Cha-Lacy's Out East" which revisits a theme from his first ESP-Disk' album, the proceedings are heady free-form avant-jazz reaching into cosmic realms with its string heavy backing providing soaring atmospheres. Tyler cut legendary records as a sideman to Albert Ayler, but as a leader proves to be one of the most advanced, challenging and exploratory players of the late '60s avant-garde. Also available on LP (GET 1059).
