ENJA 24 BIT MASTER EDITION
Recorded in 1972. Remastered from analog source. Two bonus tracks.
Born in Jacksonville, FL in 1942, Charles Tolliver started his career in the sixties after studying at Howard University, Washington D.C. Tolliver's bright, rounded timbre on trumpet and flugelhorn could be heard with partners such as Jackie McLean, Horace Silver, Roy Ayers, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey and Max Roach. In 1969 he founded the quartet "Music, Inc." that worked successfully until the end of the seventies. "Impact" was the most impressive document of this band presenting advanced hardbop statements with grooving vamps and high-energy blowing. Young Alvin Queen even quit his job with George Benson in order to work with Tolliver whom he knew since their days in the Horace Silver band. A charismatic live recording from Munich's legendary Domicile club, this edition offers two thrilling bonus tracks that sound as fresh as they did 35 years ago. Down Beat: Five stars.
Charles Tolliver begann seine Jazzkarriere in den sechziger Jahren nach dem Studium an der Howard University in Washington. Seinen vollen, runden Trompetenton hörte man u.a. bei Jackie McLean, Horace Silver, Roy Ayers, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey und Max Roach. 1969 gründete er das Quartett Music, Inc., das bis Ende der siebziger Jahre bestand. "Impact", das beeindruckendste Dokument dieser Formation, präsentiert fortgeschrittenen Hardbop mit groovenden Vamps und Hochspannungs-Soli. Der junge Alvin Queen kündigte damals bei George Benson, nur um mit Tolliver spielen zu können, den er aus der Horace-Silver-Band kannte. Diese Edition des charismatischen Auftritts im Münchner Domicile bietet zwei aufregende Bonus Tracks, die noch genauso taufrisch klingen wie vor 35 Jahren. Down Beat: 5 Sterne.
