Shedding Skin is the latest all instrumental record from the brilliant Jeff Kollman, and is a followup to his previous releases "Schizoid" and "Into The Unknown". The disc features powerful, hard edged, dark and moody compositions with a variety of songwriting styles and plenty of chops for the players out there. Drummer Shane Gaalaas (Vinnie Moore, Uli Jon Roth, MSG) is featured quite extensively, showcasing some of his most tasteful and vicious drum work to date. Additional musical talent includes bassists Kevin Chown (Original Moon, Artension, Edwin Dare), Ray Riendeau (Gary Hoey, Rob Halford, Machines of Loving Grace), Barry Sparks (MSG, Yngwie Malmsteen , Cosmosquad), and keyboardists Roger Burn (Brian Setzer, L.A. session cat) and Dale Grisa (Original Moon, Cosmosquad). Shedding Skin is truly a dynamic rock/fusion record, heavy on the guitar, with the expected Kollman touch. Essential listening.
