Trumpeter Charles Tolliver has yet to receive the recognition he deserves. After over 20 years of recording as a sideman on many classic Blue Note sessions (Jackie McLean’s Action!, It’s Time, and Jackknife; Andrew Hill’s One for One and Dance with Death; and Horace Silver’s Serenade to a Soul Sister), Tolliver makes his Blue Note Records debut as a leader on With Love, a superb document of his fiery big band, presenting his extraordinary charts and distinctive trumpet playing.
For the occasion, Tolliver recruited a pan-generational lineup of home-run hitter soloists, including pianists Stanley Cowell and Robert Glasper; saxophonists Billy Harper, Craig Handy, and Howard Johnson; trumpeter Keyon Harrold; a cohort of A-list section men; and bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Victor Lewis, all of whom draw on all their resources to articulate Tolliver’s vision with a bravura performance. Blue Note proudly welcomes this legendary trumpeter to its roster of the finest in jazz since 1939.
