SHOOKTET

Collin's Quintet in Austin from 2016 features Russell Haight, Justin Vasquez, Richard Mikel, and Daniel Dufour, here playing his original composition in homage to Robert Glasper, “Glas”:

Austin-based Collin Shook Quintet played a beautiful set at the inaugural Austin Jazz Fusion Festival, part of WobeonFest 2015. The festival featured drum great Billy Cobham Spectrum 40, guitar guru Scott Henderson, and Austin fusion bands Glenn Rexach Group and Curious Android, all of whom played blistering sets to a highly appreciative crowd.

Collin's 2016 release, "The Desert", with drummer Tim Rachbach and bassist Dylan DeRobertis, also featuring horns Mike Moynihan (tenor) and Max Goldschmid(trumpet), features 6 original compositions, 3 of which are Collin's. Here is the second cut on the record; Mike's composition called "Weird World".
