Charles Tolliver Big Band
With Love
(CD
Blue Note)
Trumpeter Charles Tolliver steps out here after many years as a sideman for the
greats of jazz. He leads a “big band’ with a sound both brassy and bebop.
Tolliver and company bring spine-tingling changes to Thelonius Monk’s “‘Round
Midnight,” while “Mourning Variations” turns a spiritual into a
jazz-classical composition.
