Zev Feldman’s Time Traveler Recordings is set to give Woody Shaw’s lost 1976 classic ‘Love Dance’ the high-quality vinyl release treatment.

Charles Tyler’s reissued 1975 release ‘Voyage From Jericho’ documents a turning point in a career marked by being present and participating in the front lines of 60s out-jazz and bringing it forward to the loft jazz of the 70s.
