Washington, Tyrone - Natural Essence (Tone Poet Series)

Tyrone Washington’s 1967 debut, Natural Essence, introduced a vital new voice whose unique conception moved between exploratory post-bop and groove-based soul jazz.

Having emerged from Horace Silver’s Quintet the saxophonist offered his own calling card with this set featuring Woody Shaw, James Spaulding, Kenny Barron, Reggie Workman, and Joe Chambers.
