Description
Ring Out Joy is an album by the American jazz composer and saxophone player Ed Summerlin, released on Avant Garde Records in 1968.
Ring Out Joy is the third album by tenor saxophonist Ed Summerlin, recorded in April 1968 and released later that year on the Avant-Garde label. The album marks a return to the religious concerns that characterized Summerlin’s 1960 debut LP, Liturgical Jazz. Features Marvin Stamm, Ron Carter, George Marge, Don Heckman, Richard Davis and others. Ed Summerlin was one of the first composers to channel the sensibilities of jazz into liturgical music, later emerging as a sought-after tenor saxophonist within the New York City Avant-Garde community. Born in Florida, Summerlin relocated to New York at the dawn of the 1960s, performing alongside experimental jazz greats including Eric Dolphy, Don Ellis, and Sheila Jordan. He also wrote and arranged music for Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, and Dave Liebman, and in 1969 teamed with altoist/jazz journalist Don Heckman to co-lead the Improvisational Jazz Workshop.
