Having supported the likes of Roy Ayers, Fred Wesley, Gil Scott Heron, Don Blackman, and James Brown, it"s no wonder that Englishman Charlie Tate"s music sounds the way it does. A move to Oakland, CA a few years ago, the purchase of copious amounts of secondhand jazz, and Colossus was born. Created as a complete album, including the original version for the jazz lovers and a completely remixed version for the hip-hop heads. OM. 2005.
