Colin Stranahan: Transformation

Colin Stranahan: Transformation

Read "Transformation" reviewed by Jim Santella


Dramatic modern mainstream jazz pours forth from Colin Stranahan's dynamic quintet, with exotic melodic stanzas flowing in many directions at once.

Colin Stranahan Quintet: Dreams Untold

Read "Dreams Untold" reviewed by John Kelman


"I want to state the fact that my music isn't all about how fast we can play, or how many chops we have, but to get the point across of emotion and feeling." Words of wisdom from any player at any age, but especially telling from drummer Colin Stranahan who, at the tender age of seventeen, ...
