ghost of miles Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) In the early 1970s, as recording opportunities for more adventurous hard-bop musicians dried up, trumpeter Charles Tolliver and pianist Stanley Cowell started their own label, Strata East, partly in order to document the activities of their quartet Music Inc. The aesthetic results were in some ways an extension of the musicans with whom Tolliver had worked in the 1960s—Jackie McLean, Max Roach, and Andrew Hill. On this edition of Night Lights we’ll hear live performances from the quartet from Slug’s Saloon in New York City and from a concert in Tokyo, as well as recordings the quartet made augmented by a big band. “Charles Tolliver on Strata East in the Early 1970s” airs Saturday, January 21 at 11:05 p.m. (8:05 California time, 10:05 Chicago time) on WFIU. You can listen live, or wait until Monday afternoon, when the program will be posted in the Night Lights archives. Next week: "Piano Noir: Ran Blake."
