Out of Chicago’s vibrant scene, multi-instrumentalist, composer and bandleader Isaiah Collier has carved out a distinct voice, most prominently on saxophone. Whether leading his own projects, performing with Angel Bat Dawid’s Brotherhood or alongside artists like Chance The Rapper and Waddada Leo Smith III and many more, his sound moves with purpose and depth. With Cosmic Transitions, his latest release with his band The Chosen Few, Collier taps into both tradition and forward motion. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s legendary studio on Coltrane’s birthday, the album channels a lineage while pushing beyond it - expansive, spiritual and rooted in expression.
