Charles Tolliver is one of the most influential jazz musicians of the past few decades. Trumpet player, composer, arranger and bandleader, his albums have become a reference for generations of musicians around the world.
This is confirmed by Impact. The Music of Charles Tolliver, the latest project by the quintet comprising trumpet player Oriol Vallès, saxophonist Guim Garcia-Balasch, double bass player Pep Coca, pianist Dani Rambla and drummer Oriol Cot. With a repertoire based entirely on Tolliver’s music, the ensemble unleashes its modern hard bop and launces headfirst into exploring new routes and possibilities, remaining faithful to the words of Tolliver: “I always take the most difficult routes for improvisation. You have to take risks to get something worthwhile out of what you do.”
