- Jazz &Amp; Rib Fest to Feature Charles Tolliver's Big Band
There's been some big band activity all along these years," [Charles Tolliver] said in an exclusive interview with the Call and Post from his home base in New York City. He added humbly, "Hopefully it's because of what I'm doing; I don't know. "Charles is the culmination of his period," [David Weiss] said. "He encompassed everything that happened in the '60s and early '70s, all the innovation and intensity, the highest level of harmony and rhythm and technique, and pumped it up even more." "Every once in a while you get somebody in the audience who really knows your music and they ask to hear something," Tolliver said. "That's always nice."

- Trio Taps the Well of Musical Genres
From a jazz standpoint, pianist Robert Glasper has made his mark in the bands of Russell Malone, Terrence Blanchard, Charles Tolliver and Christian McBride, while his presence alongside soul and hip-hop artists like Q-Tip, Mos Def, Kanye West and MeShell Ndegeocello reveals the kind of cross-cultural fertilization that many of the younger generation of musicians deal with as a matter of course. As Bruce Eaton, the producer for the Art of Jazz series at the Albright-Knox, noted in his preconcert talk, to young jazz musicians brought up with easy access to rock and hip-hop music, "Life is a mix tape." Glasper touched on that issue in an interview he did with Ted Panken for jazz.com when he said, "What makes my trio different, I think, is that we tap into the hip-hop side, and ...

- Women's Jazz Month, Abyssinian Jazz, Monk Anniversary
The jazz series at Abyssinian Baptist Church is an exciting addition to the rebirth of quality, affordable live jazz showcases in Harlem," stated Ron West of the Men's Ministry. Recently, the ministry presented its second concert celebrating Black History Month and President Obama's inauguration. It was well attended by the Harlem community, including members of Abyssinian. The first night, "The [Thelonious Monk] Orchestra at Town Hall, 1959: Reviving A Land- mark," featured the Charles Tolliver Orchestra. The repertoire was the same as Monk's original per- formance. Stanley Cowell was the pianist, and his performance was magnificent. No, he didn't try to play like Monk (that is an impossible feat), but his playing, along with that of the 10-piece all-star cast, was an exciting journey...
