SHRED MASTERPIECE,
By
This review is from: Into the Unknown (Audio CD)
This is Jeff Kollman's second solo album (all of which are guitar instrumentals). I have yet to hear his first (Schizoid), but Into the Unknown really showcases the metal side of Kollman's influences. Unlike many of the shred movement, Kollman comes across as a skillfull and soulfull songwritter first and foremost, who happens to have TREMENDOUS chops. I was really skeptical when I first went to see him play with a couple of my heros (Shane Gaalaas and Barry Sparks), but this guy is a rare find indeed. His third solo album and his work with the instrumental fusion band Cosmosquad are more diverse and mature, but for those days when you want to rock out, this is the CD. Check out his website as he is really prolific and it will tell you what albums by other artists he plays on. There is also sample music of his playing in the backround so you can get a taste for what he sounds like.

Not sure where to go here....,

This review is from: Into the Unknown (Audio CD)
Jeff is a great technical player, has the whole bag of tricks down. Plenty of speed and all the runs a gunslinger could ever want. But alas.....Wheres the soul, the ability to play from the heart???? Thats the issue here. You want pyrotechniques-Its all here. You want to hear a great player express true passion and feeling through his guitar- move on. Try Michael Lee Firkins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, or even Andy Timmons. Great players that can play from the heart too.

Best guitar talent, period!,
By T. Pencak "jazz shark" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Into the Unknown (Audio CD)
I bought this CD in an indie record store in Royal Oak Michigan, back in the 90's. I heard about this guy from a bass music teacher who played in a Detroit band with him, "Edwin Dare". Needless to say, Jeff makes Joe Satriani seem pre-school. He plays all styles of guitar including (jazz, bluegrass, rock, classical). All of his songs are extremely melodic and inviting. Kollman also uses the wah pedal unlike any of his peers. Buy this album. I laugh at how "stupid shred nerds" like Vinnie Moore and George Bellas get recognition, and this guy is still almost "Unknown"
