Charles Tolliver had played with Jackie McLean, Art Blakey and Sonny Rollins before moving to the West Coast and joining Wilson's band. "He thinks a little different," was how Wilson introduced Tolliver's modal rock blues, once again delighted to introduce another new talent through his ensemble. The composer, Caliman and Moore get solo space. Tolliver, of course, has gone on to lead his own small and large ensembles, and has continued to make powerful musical statements.
