Our Take

Charles Tolliver’s latest album, "Connectin", is a jazz masterpiece that manages to effortlessly fuse together elements of traditional jazz with modern flair. From the opening notes of the title track, Tolliver’s trumpet playing takes center stage, showcasing his technical prowess and remarkable improvisational skills.

The album also features a stellar lineup of musicians, including pianist Keith Brown, bassist Devin Starks, and drummer Kendrick Scott, who all bring their A-game to each track. The chemistry between the musicians is evident throughout the album, with each player complementing the others perfectly.

One of the standout tracks on the album is “Blues for McHig,” a soulful and introspective piece that allows Tolliver to truly shine. His trumpet playing on this track is both emotive and powerful, drawing the listener in and holding their attention from start to finish.

Overall, "Connectin" is a testament to Tolliver’s skill as a bandleader and composer. His ability to seamlessly blend different styles and influences into a cohesive whole is truly impressive. Whether you’re a longtime fan of jazz or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
