Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few fully explore moments of the past, present, and, yes, the future with music from their new album “Cosmic Transitions,” a five-part suite that addresses interpersonal relationships during a Retrograde period. A release filled with a wide range of human emotions and musical possibility, “Cosmic Transitions” was crafted with the full intention to awaken those who hear it. Each part of the suite weaves into the next. Not for the faint of heart, the album sets out to be a timestamp for before and after. The recording of this project took place on September 23rd, 2020 at Rudy Van Gelder’s legendary studio where greats like John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, and many others expressed what they felt in those moments. Isaiah Collier, a brilliant talent from Chicago, leads the way on soprano and tenor saxophone, with the support of the other members: Chicagoans Jeremiah Hunt, bass; Michael Shewoaga Ode, drums and Mike King, piano. Enjoy the journey. Café CODA, 1224 Williamson St. Two shows 7 & 9pm. Tickets: $25/show.
