Strata-East

Jez Nelson presents a celebration of the Strata-East label, with founders Charles Tolliver (trumpet) and Stanley Cowell (piano) in concert at the Barbican with an all-star band.

A celebration of the Strata-East label - the influential 1970s imprint set up by trumpeter Charles Tolliver and pianist Stanley Cowell that broke new ground in post-bop, spiritual jazz and afro-jazz.

Brought together by DJ and Strata-East fan Gilles Peterson, the label's founders are joined on stage at London's Barbican by an all-star line up featuring saxophonist Billy Harper, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Alvin Queen, plus a special guest appearance from vocalist Jean Carne.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Chris Elcombe.
