The Baptised Traveller is the debut album by English free-jazz drummer Tony Oxley, which was recorded in 1969, released on CBS as part of their Realm Jazz Series and reissued on CD by Columbia in 1999.

Oxley won the Melody Maker Readers Jazz Poll this year and was more or less permanent drummer at London's Ronnie Scott Club in an accompanying role.

The album features an all-star lineup of British avant jazz carefully chosen with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, saxophonist Evan Parker, guitarist Derek Bailey and bassist Jeff Clyne.

"[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the record one of its rare crown accolades and says that "Oxley's stately reading of Charlie Mariano's 'Stone Garden' is one of the masterworks of contemporary improvised music, a slow chorale rooted in Bailey's chiming guitar chords.

"[4] In his book Derek Bailey and the Story of Free Improvisation, music writer Ben Watson claims about the record "If people say that British jazz had produced no masterpieces, it's an illusion created by the fact that CBS had no idea how to market this album.
