About Me

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ "To me the music of the Will Collier Septet has so many things of what i love about music; beautiful melody, groove, individuality, sincerity, much feeling, surprising structures. But most of all it sounds like people expressing together as one in a pure and clear way. I enjoy alot to listen!" - Seb Rochford (Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland...) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------"Will Collier - a gifted young, British double bassist Collier leads a dynamite septet stylistically recalling the likes of Kenny Wheeler, Dave Holland, Tin Hat Trio, Bad Plus and Medeski Martin and Wood. Very Impressive." - Tom Barlow, Jazzwise---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- "Great tunes, really fresh sounding and like the detail" Liam Noble
