Founded in 1970 by Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell, Strata-East Records has embodied and pioneered artistic freedom in its highest form, supporting the visions of the most influential musicians of its time. Strata-East’s commitment to artist-produced records and high production standards has earned it a revered place in jazz history. This mission continues through a partnership with Mack Avenue Music Group, ensuring the highest quality releases from its historic catalog. These exceptional albums were reissued to critical acclaim, and were elevated to new heights by the incredible writers who contributed liner notes: Harmony Holiday (Pharoah Sanders), Marcus J. Moore (Charles Tolliver & Music Inc), Nate Chinen (Stanley Cowell) and Syd Schwartz (Charlie Rouse).
