With their self-titled debut release, this all-instrumental trio weaves jazz, fusion, Latin, blues, and rock influences into a unique musical hybrid. The band lineup features the remarkable Jeff Kollman on guitar, Barry Sparks on bass and Shane Gaalaas on drums. Stylistic inspiration coupled with polished musicianship, unique songwriting and a versatile rhythm section sets the multidimensional Cosmosquad apart from the crowd with a strong, definitive musical statement.

Another brilliant all-instrumental release from the monster trio known as Cosmosquad is entitled Squadrophenia. Retaining the multi-dimensional approach the band developed on their debut album, Cosmosquad have successfully managed to explore new musical territory and expand their sonic parameters on Squadrophenia. Displays of upbeat, funky outbursts give way to dark, hypnotic grooves, spastic madness meets ethereal beauty, and African tribal flavors intersect with melodic flurries to complete a perfectly balanced mosaic of shadow and light. Cosmosquad are that rare three-pronged constellation of stellar musicianship, unique songwriting and forward thinking attitude that allows for great musical things to happen. Squadrophenia is bound to establish the Jeff Kollman / Barry Sparks / Shane Gaalaas alliance as one of the frontrunners of the New Millennium hard fusion movement for years to come.  Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Fusion), total running time, 59:42

Live At The Baked Potato features the Cosmosquad trio in a club setting on one February evening in 2001, delivering dynamic material from their CDs Cosmosquad, Squadrophenia and guitarist Jeff Kollman's solo CD Shedding Skin. An all-instrumental set awaits fans of the galactic band, with funky outbursts giving way to dark, hypnotic grooves, spastic madness meeting ethereal beauty, and African tribal flavors intersecting with melodic flurries. If you are unfamiliar with the guitar work of Jeff Kollman, this live set is a great introduction - over 78 minutes of superb musicianship - and you'll definitely be juiced enough to get the other 9 or 10 titles in Kollman's ever expanding discography.  Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Fusion), total running time, 59:42
