Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few Livestream – Free Show

22-year-old soprano and tenor saxophonist Isaiah Collier sound and approach is drawn from the influences of jazz masters such as John Coltrane, Roscoe Mitchell, Wayne Shorter, Ari Brown and Gene Ammons. Isaiah’s newest album, Cosmic Transitions, flows with moments of stillness and others of chaos from one movement into the next.  Each part representing a different lesson Collier received.  The album was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studio on John Coltrane’s birthday September 23^rd, 2020 in the middle of the global pandemic and social upheaval.  The musicians push and pull one another through the waves of sound during the course of this journey. Not for the faint of heart, the album sets out to be a timestamp for before and after experience of the journey which is Cosmic Transitions!
