Our Take

Ah, Graham Collier - the unsung hero of British jazz! His album "Down Another Road / Songs For My Father" is a delightful romp through the world of avant-garde jazz, with just a touch of eccentricity that only Collier could bring.

From the moment the first note hits your ears, you know you're in for something special. The intricate arrangements, the unexpected chord progressions, the sporadic bursts of saxophone - it's all so wonderfully weird and wonderful.

"Down Another Road" takes you on a journey through Collier's mind, with each track a different stop on the musical map. From the frenetic energy of "Elbow Room" to the haunting beauty of "Gabrielle," there's never a dull moment on this album.

And then there's "Songs For My Father" - a touching tribute to Collier's biggest musical inspiration. The melodies are soulful, the rhythms are infectious, and the overall vibe is one of pure joy.

Collier's masterful use of brass and percussion creates a sound that is both timeless and completely unique. It's like nothing you've ever heard before, and yet it feels strangely familiar.

So, if you're in the mood for something a bit off-the-wall, a bit out-there, and a whole lot of fun, do yourself a favour and give Graham Collier's "Down Another Road / Songs For My Father" a spin. You won't regret it. Trust me.

Graham Collier

Graham Collier: The Jazz Maverick Graham Collier may not be a household name, but in the world of jazz music, he is a true legend. With a career spanning over five decades, Collier has cemented his place as one of the most innovative and daring composers in the genre.

His compositions are a unique blend of intricate harmonies, unconventional time signatures, and bold improvisation, making each performance a thrilling and unpredictable experience. Collier's influence can be heard in the work of countless contemporary jazz musicians, yet he remains a somewhat elusive figure, preferring to let his music speak for itself. But make no mistake – when Collier takes the stage, all eyes and ears are on him. Despite his impressive body of work, Collier has never been one to seek the spotlight. He is a true artist, driven by a relentless passion for pushing the boundaries of his craft. And while his music may not always be easy listening, it is always worth the effort. So next time you're looking for something a little different to listen to, why not give Graham Collier a try? You may not know what to expect, but one thing's for certain – you won't be disappointed.
