yes! i can't remember how i first heard about collins, but i really like this cd, which features kenny barron, joe locke, rufus reid, and ben riley. also check out collins' recording reality tonic, with frank lacy. both discs can be purchased used for just a few bucks on amazon.

Jay Collins has an amazing feature on the latest big band CD by the pianist Jason Lindner, "Live at the Jazz Gallery" on the tune "Poem for You Today." He sings and takes a burly, muscular tenor solo. I highly recommend this album. It was one of my favorites of 2007. Also has Miguel Zenon, Anat Cohen, Omer Avital, others. I also like his playing with Levon Helm. You can see him live if you go see Levon up at his Midnight Rambles up near Woodstock, NY.
