Welcome to my website, and thanks for stopping by!
Thrilled to have "Time Well Spent" included on Jazz FM 91.1's list of the top 25 jazz recordings of 2020! This was a special way to end a crazy year, and I am so appreciative of Jazz FM's support of the album. I was also overhwhelmed by Heather Bambrick's review of the album.
"Time Well Spent is a good way to describe the feeling after spending some moments listening to this recording. Pat Collins, a first-call musician for both the studio and the stage, enlists the talents of two of the best — Tom Szczesniak and Reg Schwager — to form a powerhouse trio. Together, they have a synergy that is just stunning, each player demonstrating his mastery while achieving a brilliant connection to his musical mates. Time Well Spent is poignant and gorgeous."
