In recent years, Charles Tolliver has become best known for leading a high–octane big band. But for this special FONT appearance, the veteran trumpeter and composer–arranger will appear with a top–shelf quintet that includes the fine pianist Xavier Davis (Betty Carter, Regina Carter, Stefon Harris, et al). “[Tolliver's] trumpet retains much of its vigorous tone, diligent logic, and controlled fury.” (Gary Giddins)
