DESCRIPTION:
1975 Jazz LP Repressed - 50th Year Anniversary Copies - Step into the wild heart of New York’s underground avant-garde jazz scene with 'Voyage from Jericho'.
Recorded in 1974, release in 1975, this landmark session finds the Charles Tyler Ensemble pushing boundaries with fearless improvisation, deep spiritual yearning, and a raw emotional fire.
Joined by top-tier collaborators — including Arthur Blythe, Earl Cross, Ronnie Boykins, and Steve Reid — Tyler shapes a sound that fuses avant-garde intensity with soulful depth, creating a powerful celebration of freedom and expression.
This is music that demands attention and rewards deep listening. Whether you’re a devoted explorer of the avant-garde or a curious listener seeking something beyond the mainstream, 'Voyage from Jericho' offers a journey both challenging and transcendent.
In short: if you’re ready to move past comfort zones and into the outer reaches of jazz, 'Voyage from Jericho' is a voyage worth taking.
Indiana-born saxophonist Charles Tyler had carved out his own route through the New York avant-garde by the mid-70s, where he moved between loft-scene fire and a more searching, spiritual strain of improvisation. Voyage from Jericho captures him at a moment of widening ambition: a group assembled with force and for contour, with Arthur Blythe, Earl Cross, Ronnie Boykins and Steve Reid melding a language that keeps shifting underfoot. The opening title track sets that motion in place, Tyler's lines cutting through Boykins's earthy bass like a flare in low light. 'Return to the East' stretches even further, drums circling toward a ritual pulse, while 'Children's Music March' tilts from playfulness into something more incantatory. Even the brief 'Just for Two' feels like an aperture opening. Jericho isn't tidy or resolved; it's a document of players testing the edge of freedom and finding, in the fray, a renewed clarity.
