The New Wave in Jazz is a live album recorded on March 28, 1965, at the Village Gate in New York City. It features groups led by major avant-garde jazz artists performing at a concert for the benefit of The Black Arts Repertory Theater/School founded by Amiri Baraka, then known as LeRoi Jones...

...Baraka booked a March 28 concert under the name "New Black Music" for the benefit of BARTS, and also arranged for it to be recorded. A poster for the concert advertised $5 tickets and listed the participants as John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Betty Carter, Grachan Moncur, Albert Ayler, the Sun Ra Myth-Science Arkestra, and Charles Tolliver.

It's Time! is an album recorded by a group led by American saxophonist Jackie McLean recorded in 1964 and released on the Blue Note label.

It's Time! Review by Thom Jurek

...The music was written entirely by either Tolliver or McLean and walks the line between modal post-bop and free jazz. It came hot on the heels of McLean's first forays into these waters on 1963's One Step Beyond and Destination Out!. There is more to it than that, of course; chordal improvisation still plays a large part in the music on this fine record. Hancock's solo on the opening "Cancellation" is the most angular thing here, and the tempo is simply breathtaking...

It's #bandcampfriday which means that even more of the money goes to the artists. . . ALL of it!

Music Inc. - Live at Slugs - Volume I & II

Previously two separate Strata-East LPs, combined on a CD at some point, and now given a really respectful, deluxe treatment by Mack Avenue.

Remastered by Kevin Gray, pressed at RTI…

Anyway, Charles Tolliver (trumpet), Stanley Cowell (piano), Cecil McBee (bass), and Jimmy Hopps (drums) ride the line between hard bop and avant garde jazz to great effect.

Charles Tolliver & Music Inc - Live at the Captain's Corner

This set, from a 100-seat venue in Canada, starts full-gas, blowing some avant-garde hard bop right out of the gate.

Lots of sympathetic group playing follows, and while the recording quality may not be stellar, it's very enjoyable.
