1968 studio album by Tyrone Washington
Natural Essence Tyrone Washington featuring performances recorded in 1967 and released on the Blue Note label.[2]
Reception The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Only 23 at the time of the recording, the tenor saxophonist composed six originals and is joined by other promising young lions who went onto great careers... Washington shows the influence of John Coltrane during his rapid-fire runs, while his playing during his more straight-ahead works proves to be more memorable".[3]
