  • Trumpet Stanley Cowell C
    Thursday, March 27, 2003 – Bezanson Recital Hall Charles Tolliver and Music, Inc. Charles Tolliver - trumpet Stanley Cowell – piano Cecil McBee – bass Carl Allen - drums Charles Tolliver is “a superb technician with an utterly distinctive voice,” wrote Richard Cook, as well as a bandleader, composer, arranger, record company executive, and educator of the highest order. Since launching his professional career in the 1960s, Charles Tolliver has quietly become one of the premier trumpeters and musical organizers in jazz. “A trumpeter of such flow, tone, control, lyricism and creativity is, by definition, a major musician,” said veteran producer Michael Cuscuna. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1942 and raised in New York, Mr. Tolliver taught himself to play jazz from listening to the radio, and began playing trumpet and drums in his school band. he left New York to study pharmacy at Howard University (1960-63) before moving back to New York to immerse himself in the jazz scene. In 1964, Charles Tolliver began playing with saxophonist Jackie McLean, with whom he made his first recording, “It’s Time” (Blue Note). He spent 1965 with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers before traveling to the west coast to work with Willie Bobo and Gerald Wilson. In 1967, Mr. Tolliver joined Max Roach’s quintet, during which time he also recorded “Paper Man”, his debut as a leader. Then, in 1969, he left Roach’s band to form, Music, Inc., a quartet with pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Jimmy Hopps. Music, Inc. also evolved into a big band, which toured widely. In 1971, Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell formed Strata-East, a label that has continued to bring to market important artist-produced recordings.

  • Jazz Jazz Is a Uniquely American Music Genre That Began in New Orleans Around 1900, and Is Characterized by Improvisation, Stron
    Jazz Jazz is a uniquely American music genre that began in New Orleans around 1900, and is characterized by improvisation, strong rhythms including syncopation and other rhythmic invention, and enriched chords and tonal colors. Early jazz was followed by Dixieland, swing, bebop, fusion, and free jazz. Piano, brass instruments especially trumpets and trombones, and woodwinds, especially saxophones and clarinets, are often featured soloists. Jazz in Missouri Both St. Louis and Kansas City have played important roles in the history of jazz in America. Musicians came north to St. Louis from New Orleans where jazz began, and soon the city was a hotbed of jazz. Musicians who played on the Mississippi riverboats were not really playing jazz, as the music on the boats was written out and not improvised, but when the boats docked the musicians went to the city’s many clubs and played well into the night. Some of the artists to come out of St. Louis include trumpeters Clark Terry, Miles Davis and Lester Bowie, saxophonist Oliver Nelson, and, more recently, pianist Peter Martin. Because of the many jazz trumpeters to develop in St. Louis, it has been called by some “City of Gabriels,” which is also the title of a book on jazz in St. Louis by jazz historian and former radio DJ, Dennis Owsley. Jazz in Kansas City, like jazz in St. Louis, grew out of ragtime, blues and band music, and its jazz clubs thrived even during the Depression because of the Pendergast political machine that made it a 24-hour town. Because of its location, Kansas City was connected to the “territory bands” that played the upper Midwest and the Southwest, and Kansas City bands adopted a feel of four even beats and tended to have long solos.
