Songs for My Father


Songs for My Father is an album by composer/bassist Graham Collier recorded in 1970 and originally released on the British Fontana label.

Reception

said "Songs for My Father is the first evidence listeners have of the maturing Collier, moving jazz aesthetics around in order to more fully articulate his sophisticated palette". On All About Jazz Nic Jones noted "it's the one that offers the greatest insight into Collier's more recent methodology, not least because the numbers of musicians involved are more indicative of his later work with larger ensembles".
