Tyrone Washington's 1967 debut album, Natural Essence, introduced a vital new voice whose conception lay somewhere between exploratory post-bop and groove-based soul jazz. The saxophonist offered his own calling card with this set featuring W. Shaw, J. Spaulding, K. Barron, R. Workman, and J. Chambers. Tone Poet stereo, analog edition, mastered by K. Gray from the original tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl, and presented in a deluxe gatefold jacket.
