Accompanied by Bill Frisell on guitar, Larry Coryell on guitar, Dan Dean on bass, John Bishop on drums, and Ted Poor on drums, Tom weaves his way magically through nine original compositions. It feels like elevator jazz at times with the vibraphone but it is so much more than that. Collier gets complex with melody lines and grooves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Admiral\u2019s Point of View\u201d is one of the more upbeat and funky tracks on the album. Dan Dean, Tom\u2019s longtime musical band mate of 50 years, really settles down in the pocket and takes an impressive solo during the middle of the song. <em>Across The Bridge<\/em>\u00a0has a very cool feel because of the vibraphone and it is featured in almost every song, including \u201c47th \u2018N\u2019 Hudson.\u201d \u201cHarmonious Effusion on Olga Street\u201d is a very upbeat track and gives the feeling of a chase scene or an escape of some sort. This song feels like it belongs in a scene of a movie. Tom Collier creates a very harmonic melody with guitarist, Bill Frisell and gives justice to the name of the song.<\/p>\n<p>The album finishes with the title track, \u201cAcross the Bridge.\u201d This song truly brings the whole album into perspective and is a great conclusion. It showcases a little bit of everything that made this album unique. <em>Across The Bridge<\/em> is a new, different listen from the average jazz album that, with breathtaking grooves, pushes the territory of where jazz can take you.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, George Benson<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 1 (The Junction), 4 (The Admiral&#8217;s Point of View), 7 (Harmonious Effusion on Olga Street), 9 (Across the Bridge)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Matt Weiman on 11\/25\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Collier, with an all star lineup composed of Larry Coryell, Bill Frisell, Dan Dean, John Bishop, and Ted Poor, displays mastery on vibes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4544,"featured_media":40160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[183,4,3235,3230],"tags":[4001,4000,3790,3999],"class_list":["post-39785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz-rotation","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","tag-across-the-bridge","tag-bill-frisell","tag-matt-weiman","tag-tom-collier"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rsz_tom_collier.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4544"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
