Another Music Inc album with Charles Tolliver at the helm. This one was recorded live at Slugs’ Saloon situated in the East Village, Manhattan, New York on May 1, 1970. Fantastic music from Tolliver and company as usual. This is the second volume and I’m also looking for Vol.1.
Love the ferocious ”Out Second Father”, penned by Tolliver, dedicated to the memory of John Coltrane. Tolliver plays absolutely brilliant on this tune. It’s also featured live on the ”Live at Loosdrecht” album, also on Strata-East, which I posted back in October of last year.
The personell on this date is Tolliver on trumpet, Stanley Cowell on piano, Cecil McBee on double bass and Jimmy Hopps on drums.
This original LP came in a beautiful gatefold cover, which features a lovely photograph of the band inside.
Essential.
