Two albums available: Mallet Jazz (featuring Emil Richards) Mallet Vault, Volume 1 (NEW! old stuff)
MALLET JAZZ - While all nine pieces on this CD captivate the listener, the final cut, “Pink Skies Over Carnaby,” has got to be the most impressive—a work for only vibes and marimba featuring Collier at his best. From all the great musical control displayed on this CD, it would seem as if Collier must have an extra hand or two—and therefore deserves three thumbs up. (review excerpt by F. Michael Combs)
MALLET VAULT, VOLUME 1 - Featuring never-released studio recordings, Tom Collier’s MP3 album, “Mallet Vault, Volume 1” showcases Collier’s impressive skills on vibes, marimba, drums and keyboards performing fourteen original compositions covering a span of 24 years between 1975 and 1999.
