The debut album from trumpeter and Strata-East co-founder Charles Tolliver. This edition offers a limited edition collectable Strata-East stickers available exclusively for Record Store Day 2026. In his debut release, Charles assembles a who's who of jazz royalty - Gary Bartz, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Joe Chambers - backing the 26-year-old composer, showcasing his unmatched creativity and control of his instrument. Remixed by Charles to enhance the original intent of the recording, this edition features audio cut directly from the original analog tapes, mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, housed in a deluxe tip-on jacket package with never-before-seen photos and newly commissioned liner notes. This is a 2026 Record Store Day Release.
