As Strata-East’s debut release, Music Inc by Charles Tolliver set the standard for creative expression, artistic freedom, and musical mastery that Tolliver and co-founder Stanley Cowell exemplified throughout their celebrated careers. Recorded on November 11, 1970, Music Inc is a masterclass in executing a singular creative vision for large ensembles, with the core band—led by Tolliver’s expertise—featuring Cowell on piano, Cecil McBee on bass, and Jimmy Hopps on drums.
