Captained by Andy Shauf, a surprising follow-up that trades the pastoral indie rock of the project's debut for melodic, sample-based experimentalism.

AllMusic Staff Pick - June 2, 2025
Charles Tolliver / Music Inc.
Impact
1976
Hard Bop
Trumpeter/flügelhornist Charles Tolliver often straddled the line between the lyricism of hard bop and the adventurous nature of the avant-garde. Released in 1976, Impact contained a stimulating progressive edge within an energetic large band (14 horns, eight strings, and rhythm section) format. Tolliver's arrangements are consistently bright and build momentum, while the soloists are given sufficient room to maneuver through the multiple textures. Featured soloists in the remarkable reed section include Charles McPherson, James Spaulding, George Coleman, and Harold Vick.
