Boomer Vibes, the first of three volumes to be issued on Summit Records over the next 18 months, is the culmination of nearly 70 years of having a microphone (or two) placed in front of my marimba or vibraphone and committing my musical performance to 78rpm phono disc, recording tape, and lastly, computer.

Unlike all previous album projects I've recorded over the past forty years, Boomer Vibes, Volume One (and two and three) represent my first recordings of songs I didn't compose. Instead, over the past year, I recorded three albums worth of songs from the 1960's and 70's that were especially important in my life for one reason or another. This album is also my first "do it yourself" album in over ten years. I play every instrument on Boomer Vibes, Volume 1

A talented multi-instrumental percussionist, Collier debuted at age 13 on The Lawrence Welk Show. He became intrigued with jazz and odd time signatures through Brubeck. Relocating to Los Angeles in 1974, he played with Ernie Watts, Bill Holman, Shelly Manne, Howard Roberts, Bobby Shew, and Don Ellis. He joined the faculty at the University of Washington in 1980, and has recorded three albums as a leader. ~ by David Szatmary
