Description
180g audiophile vinyl reissue, housed in a gatefold sleeve, remastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London.
"This Superb 1974 live album, recorded on Music Inc's first Japanese tour, begins in the most Tollveresque way possible- with a powerful, declamatory trumpet blast on the opening `Drought', and from then on, the tempo never lets up.
Live In Tokyo is exceptionally powerful acoustic hard bop, easily the equal of the electric and fusion experiments of the time -and proof positive that Tolliver, who astutely (and acutely) combined the best of both traditional swing and jazz throughout the 1970, remains one of the music's great-and most underrated." - **** Kevin Whitlock, Jazzwise
"Pure Pleasure Records had done its customary superior job in re-mastering Charles Tolliver's Music Inc: - Live In Tokyo to 180-gram vinyl. The overall sound mix is very good, despite occasional source-recording inconsistencies. There is good stereo separation." - Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition
