Der legendÃ¤re Jazztrompeter und GrÃ¼nder des Labels Strata East, das unter anderem Gil Scott Heron hervorbrachte, ist zurÃ¼ck mit "Connect", seinem ersten Studioalbum seit 13 Jahren. Das Album wurde im vergangenen November in den Londoner RAK Studios von Tony Platt (The Bad Plus, Abdullah Ibrahim, Bob Marley) auf Band aufgenommen - mit den Charles Tolliver All-Stars, darunter einige der erfahrensten Jazzmusiker New Yorks: Jesse Davis am Altsaxophon, Keith Brown am Klavier, Buster Williams am Kontrabass und Lenny White am Schlagzeug. AuÃ?erdem schlÃ¤gt das Album, mit dem Feature des britischen Saxophonisten Binker Golding (Binker & Moses, Moses Boyd Exodus, Zara McFarlane) auf zwei Titeln eine BrÃ¼cke zwischen New York und London. "Connect" wird Charles' erste VerÃ¶ffentlichung Ã¼ber das in London ansÃ¤ssige Indie-Label Gearbox Records sein, das auch die jÃ¼ngsten Releases von Abdullah Ibrahim, Binker & Moses, Butcher Brown und Theon Cross verÃ¶ffentlicht hat. -
