Graham Collier - Down Another Road Songs For My Father Mosaics

Review by Wayne Smith

Graham Collier's album "Down Another Road: Songs For My Father Mosaics" is a tribute to his late father, and it showcases the jazz musician's talents as a composer and bandleader. The album features a mix of original compositions and arrangements of classic jazz tunes, all performed by a talented ensemble of musicians.

The album's opening track, "Song For My Father," is a beautiful tribute to Collier's father, with a melody that is both mournful and uplifting. The album also includes Collier's own compositions, such as "Bass Is," a funky tune that showcases the bassist's skills.

The ensemble of musicians on the album is impressive, with each player bringing their own unique style to the mix. The saxophonist and trumpeter, in particular, stand out for their solos and improvisations.
