Out of the vibrant Chicago scene, multi-instrumentalist, composer, curator, activist and educator Isaiah Collier has made a name for himself most notably as a saxophone player, be it with his own projects, as part of Angel Bat David’s Brotherhood or at the side of artists like Chance the Rapper, Wadada Leo Smith III, Junius Paul and many more. Cosmic Transitions, his debut album as bandleader with his band The Chosen Few. came out in 2021, earning a five-star review from Downbeat and multiple Album of the year mentions amongst other praise. The powerful suite was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s legendary Studio on Coltrane’s birthday, using some of the same analogue equipment that was used for the original recording session of A Love Supreme. It not only showcases Collier’s extensive musical range and expressive talent but honors the tradition on which it is based.
