Isaiah Collier "Collier Plays Coltrane" | Concert

Chicago’s multi-faceted talent—composer, activist, curator, and saxophone virtuoso Isaiah Collier—brings his “Collier Plays Coltrane” project to Komünite on November 19 at 9:30 PM.

In addition to his own projects, Collier has gained recognition through collaborations with Angel Bat Dawid, Chance the Rapper, and Wadada Leo Smith. His work merges the deep-rooted traditions of jazz with a forward-looking, futuristic vision. His latest album, Cosmic Transitions—awarded five stars by DownBeat and named “Album of the Year” by multiple outlets—has made a powerful impact, framing his music not just as performance but as a spiritual threshold.

Recorded at Van Gelder Studio on John Coltrane’s birthday, using the same analog equipment as A Love Supreme, this special suite stands as both a tribute to jazz heritage and a bold step beyond its boundaries.

Don’t miss this high-energy, deeply immersive performance where traditional sounds meet modern expression.
