Charles Tyler - Eastern Man Alone

Jazz

1976 US pressing on ESP Disk, VG+, small punchhole in bottom left corner

Charles Tyler's second session as a leader (it would be seven years before he would have a third chance) has much more playing time than his first effort (48 minutes as opposed to 29) and more of an original concept. The altoist is the lead voice in a quartet comprised of cellist David Baker and both Brent McKesson and Kent Brinkley on basses, coming up with eccentric melodies and sound explorations on four of his originals.
