?Up until [Hoarded Dreams], the formerly bass-playing Collier might have been described as Britain’s Mingus, but not after ? Collier went back to the roots of the music and to the principle that jazz is not just about themes and solos, but also about individuals and collectives thinking in a very particular relation one to the other? Few musician’s ?alternates’ are as revealing as Collier’s’.
From Brian Morton’s liner notes.
