Showcasing Strata-East co-founder Charles Tolliver’s ambitious arrangements and his ability to straddle the line between hard bop and avant-garde, 1975’s Impact features the trumpeter leading a vibrant large ensemble while highlighting soloists James Spaulding, George Coleman, and Harold Vick, anchored by label co-founder Stanley Cowell on piano. The Music Inc Orchestra is as cinematic as it is energetic, all taking their cues from maestro Tolliver, who exudes artistic expression with every note. Now remastered from the original analog tapes, it will be available in digital format for the first time ever!
