Isaiah Collier is a Chicago saxophonist, composer, and bandleader whose expansive, spiritually charged sound draws on the traditions of John Coltrane and the AACM while pushing jazz into bold new territory. His 2024 direct-to-disc recording Parallel Universe — featuring gospel soul singer Jimetta Rose across eight transcendent tracks — showcases his rare multi-instrumental virtuosity and gift for collective improvisation. His new EP Joy, released on Brownswood Records, arrives August 7, 2026.
