      Experience the groundbreaking sound of Charlie Rouse on Two Is One - a funk-infused exploration of jazz that embodies the innovative spirit of Strata- East Records.

      Originally recorded in 1974 and transferred from the original analog tapes, Two Is One fuses sophisticated soul jazz with post-bop and spiritual influences while highlighting stellar collaborations with guitarists George Davis and Paul Metzke, Cal Scott on electrified cello, and the incomparable Stanley Clarke on electric bass.

      For the first time ever, this classic from a saxophone legend will be available on CD and digital platforms, as well as on 180-gram vinyl. It includes new liner notes by Syd Schwartz and never- before- seen photos, making this release a must- have for jazz enthusiasts and collectors alike.

      Founded in 1970 by Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell, Strata- East Records has embodied and pioneered artistic freedom in its highest form, supporting the visions of the most influential musicians of its time. Strata- East's commitment to artist- produced records and high production standards has earned it a revered place in jazz history. This mission continues through a partnership with Mack Avenue Music Group, ensuring the highest quality releases from its historic catalogue.
