Charles Tolliver All Stars: Right Now…And Then is not only Charles’ debut album as a leader (at just 26 years old) but also showcases the trumpeter, composer, and bandleader in both quartet and quintet formats. He is accompanied by a who’s who of musicians, including Gary Bartz, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Joe Chambers. Demonstrating remarkable tone, control, and creativity, Charles’ fluidity and lyrical style shine on this newly remastered album—available in digital format for the first time and featuring an unreleased bonus track—making it a must-listen for any true Strata-East or jazz fan.
