Personnel: Charles Tyler (alto saxophone, baritone saxophone); Earl Cross (trumpet); John Ore, Ronnie Boykins (bass instrument); Steve Reid (drums, drum, percussion). Audio Mixer: Rudy Van Gelder. Liner Note Author: Michael Cuscuna. Recording information: Sam Rivers' Studio Rivbea, New York, NY (05/20/1976). Saxophonist Charles Tyler was a charter member of the New York City jazz underground, the scene that was the setting for early avant-gardists Sunny Murray and Albert Ayler. Tyler performed and recorded with Ayler in his classic sets for ESP-Disk, but Tyler's own music (on indie and European labels) was mostly hard to find. until now. SAGA OF THE OUTLAWS is a reissue of his 1976 album, featuring the same-named 37-minute suite depicting (in Tyler's view) a tale of the American West. It's free jazz with a structure (albeit somewhat abstract), with plenty of stirring soloing, conveying the desperate drama of frontier times.
