Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few

“Still in his early 20s, Collier is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, though he focuses on saxophones.” – Leor Galil, Chicago Reader “5 stars for Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few: Cosmic Transitions (Jazz, 2021). This offering is the third from the Chicago-based saxophonist who, at the age of 23, has transcended the realm of prodigy. It is not his age that shocks. It is what he’s playing.” – Joshua Myers, Downbeat Magazine “Isaiah Collier: Parallel Universe review – an inspired homage to the giants of jazz and soul (4 stars). Recorded in single-take live performances, the Chicago multi-instrumentalist deftly throws funk, gospel, soul and his own fine voice into the mix.” – Neil Spencer, The Guardian “A weighty LP featuring his quartet, the Chosen Few. Collier has established himself as an heir apparent to both the Chicago lineage and the post-Coltrane sax tradition” – Giovanni Russonello, New York Times.
