"...his sleight-of-hand solos...are a fascinating study." -Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times

"... a great vibes player...." -Emil Richards autobiography, "Wonderful World Of Percussion"
"... one of the best jazz vibraphonists on the planet." -Scott Mercado, Modern Drummer Magazine
"... a new musical standard for the vibraphone." -F. Michael Combs, Percussive Notes/Percussive Arts Society
"...makes vibes and marimbas the expressive and emotional equal of piano keyboards." -Robert Carlberg, Keyboard Magazine-
"The Color Of Wood" is a jazz-based marimba album performed entirely on rosewood bars by Collier. The recording features new original compositions written specifically for the marimba, several older previously ensemble-recorded originals, and a few unique arrangements of pop/jazz standards thrown in for fun.
While marimba albums are quite common in the classical world, only a scant few jazz marimba albums have been released over the years making "The Color Of Wood" a very unique recording in the jazz canon. While many of the tracks on "The Color Of Wood" were made in one single pass, several other compositions incorporated two, three, or four overdub passes to enrich the sound and artistic intent of the music. In any case, the music was performed entirely on marimba by a single performer (except for the use of a tambourine also played by Collier on one track).
