50th anniversary reissue! 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. Includes 28-page booklet.
"This first-ever vinyl reissue of saxophonist/composer Charles Tyler's Voyage from Jericho album brings his life and work into much greater detail with an exhaustive liner essay by historian Cisco Bradley, unpublished photos and a new remaster from the original tapes. Essential!" --Clifford Allen

This 1967 recording by the avant-garde saxophonist -- his second for ESP-Disk' -- features Charles Tyler on alto sax with accompaniment from 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 album as leader, (Charles Tyler Ensemble). 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 (Bells, Spirits Rejoice), but as a leader, proves to be one of the most advanced, challenging, and exploratory players of the late '60s avant-garde. Newly remastered with original artwork & liner notes by Clifford Allen.
