notes

"I think it's a really good CD and I don't hear anything that I can criticise. The playing is very good, as are the compositions and arrangements. The array of basses from electric to acoustic and the variation in styles from picking to slapping were also very interesting I thought".

Percy Jones - Brand X



"On this record Ollie displays of wonderful technique on all the instruments. The compositions are very tasteful and technically compelling".

Nick Beggs - Bass and Stick player with Ellis,Beggs and Howard; Belinda Carlisle.

Ollie Collins as well as a selection of Manchester's finest musicians, play a myriad of contemporary Jazz, Soul and Latin originals. On his debut album, Ollie orchestrates this melodic groove ride with instruments from the bass guitar family. The piccolo bass and alto sax played by Simon Willescroft articulate the hookey melodies, whilst live drums, latin percussion and acoustic bass grooves drive the foundation.

This album is a must if you like Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Quincy Jones, Mondo Grosso, Graham Cental Station or even Prince!

  • undiscoverd talent here......

    i'm glad I checked this album out. Ollie and his fellow musicians from London England play an interesting mix of styles that remind me of Level 42, Kate Bush, Square Pusher and Chick Corea. It's a long album but never boring. Great the way all the different basses are used to create textures. I look forward to more.

  • I Like!

  • Interesting - different to most bassy albums
    author: Charlie Miller

    Listening to High Ace reminds me of Pat Metheny and Jaco, in contrast Shades Of Django is groove masterpiece space n funk!

  • Great work from a new talent in bassdom!
    author: Richie Cole

    Ollie really does make time last- over 75 mins of music,a journey crossing the styles of Funk (ala Larry Graham)Latin (ala Santana)RnB (ala Meshell) and jazz (ala Stanley/Jaco Pastorius.

  • Excellent playing, VERY funky. Killin.....
