Limited Edition 180-gram Test Pressing

Charles Tolliver All Stars: Right Now… And Then marks Charles' debut album as a leader, recorded when he was 26, and showcases the trumpeter, composer, and bandleader in both quartet and quintet formats. Joined by a who's who of jazz royalty, including Gary Bartz, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Joe Chambers, Tolliver's remarkable tone, control, and creativity are on full display, with fluid, lyrical style that defines his early voice.

Newly remixed and remastered under Tolliver's supervision to better reflect his original intent of the recording, this essential release is a must-listen for Strata-East devotees and jazz fans alike.

ABOUT TEST PRESSINGS

Actual test pressing may differ from image in label design, markings, packaging, and other production details.

Before the large-scale production of a vinyl record, a small number of copies are pressed to test quality and fine-tune any audio that may need adjustment. Once this process is approved, Mack Avenue makes an extremely limited quantity of these test pressings available to the general public. Packaged in a simple white jacket, these collectible test pressings are available in extremely limited quantities. Bring home a rare version of your favorite album today!

Step 1: Clean the record.
Step 2: Play the record all the way through with the volume at zero.
Step 3: Clean your cartridge stylus.
