Graham Collier

This album is actually three, Dark Blue Centre/Portraits/The Alternate Mosaics. It's not my usual cup of jazz, consisting not of Hard Bop, but more British Avante-garde jazz.

It's by turns introspective, intellectual, abstract and frenetic. It reminds me of an era of movies late in Frank Sinatra's film career. I'm really just grasping at straws here, but perhaps a specific movie or movies will come to me in time.

In any case, it is a welcome change of pace from my comfort zone.
