Coltrane Centennial
Isaiah Collier?s boundless admiration for John Coltrane merited a fitting tribute - passionate, grateful, witty and abundant - on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. Following in the footsteps of his quadruple album celebrating the most influential saxophonist on the American jazz scene in the second half of the 20th century, Isaiah Collier affirms the legacy of this notorious avant-gardist who flirted with free jazz, the great explorer of sounds before the eternal, the king of improvisation who forever renewed the very practice of his instrument. In the tradition of his mentor, free and committed, the multi-instrumentalist saxophonist from Chicago has not forgotten his roots and influences, but loves groove and carries the breath of the future within him. In the company of some of the finest musicians in the jazz galaxy, he delivers a frenetic, fiery concert. If he's listening from up there, the composer of A Love Supreme is sure to be vibrating in unison.
