Quentin Collins Sextet – Road Warrior

‘Road Warrior’ is the latest album from the Quentin Collins Sextet and it’s a swinging sensation. Unflinching in confronting a larger Jazz format with a contemporary outlook; it’s soulful, suave and sophisticated.

The album’s name is a result of trumpeter Quentin’s life as a touring musician with Kyle Eastwood’s band, along with his own project QC/BA (co-lead by the equally in-demand tenor saxophonist Brandon Allen). However, 2019 sees Quentin take the spotlight again with his first album as sole leader since 2007’s much-acclaimed debut release ‘If Not Now, Then When?’. For ‘Road Warrior’, Quentin had the music mixed by the composer, drummer and producer Troy Miller, who has worked with the likes of Laura Mvula, Gregory Porter and Amy Winehouse to name a few.
