Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few performs at the Old Church

Twenty-five-year-old Isaiah Collier is a musical virtuoso in the truest sense of the phrase. He began playing saxophone at age 11, and his intuitive proficiency earned him attention early on. Ever since, his band Isaiah Collier and The Chosen Few has been turning ears. The New York Times recently featured his newest album with The Chosen Few as one of the best jazz albums of 2024. He was also featured in Downbeat Magazine’s 25 for the future in their 90th Anniversary issue in July 2024. He is a winner of Rising Star Award in the Downbeat Magazine’s critics poll for Tenor Saxophone (2023), and Soprano Saxophone (2024). “5 stars for Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few: Cosmic Transitions (Jazz, 2021). This offering is the third from the Chicago-based saxophonist, who at the age of 23 has transcended the realm of prodigy. It is not his age that shocks. It is what he’s playing.” – Joshua Myers, Downbeat Magazine
“A weighty LP featuring his quartet, the Chosen Few. He has established himself as an heir apparent to both the Chicago lineage and the post-Coltrane sax tradition” – Giovanni Russonello, New York Times.
