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 drumwork 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. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Rock/Fusion), total running time, 51:00

Into The Unknown features fourteen awesome cuts of instrumental hard rock, shred and fusion axework that spotlights Jeff Kollman's talent like no other recorded work to date. Fist-pumpers such as "The Test Continues" and "Battle Scars" alternate with extended preludes such as "Homage To Orf" and the title track, as Kollman serves notice that he is a fiery player to be reckoned with. The CD also features touches of classical and jazz in spots. Kollman is a very versatile guitarist with a powerful sound and style and he manages to strike just the right balance between chops and songwriting.  Into The Unknown also includes the heavyweight rhythm section of Kevin Chown on bass and brother Tommy Kollman on drums.  Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Fusion), total running time, 45:34

Recorded in the fall of 1989, Schizoid was Ohio guitarist Jeff Kollman's debut solo outing, finding the axeman delving into a number of instrumental styles and fusions, including hard rock, blues, shred, jazz and acoustic. Featuring the drum work of Tom Kollman, the CD offers cuts such as "Over The Edge" (originally written for the ESPN show "Sports On The Edge"), "What A Relief" (which shows off the jazz-influenced side of Kollman's writing), "Detroit Monster Blues" (which displays a strong Uli Roth influence), "Remember The Alamo" (with its 'Southwest' sound), "The Darker Side Of Life" (a dissonant tune with a drop-C tuning) and the blistering title track (with its non-stop lead work, for guitarists everywhere).  Schizoid is another CD of essential listening for instrumental die-hards and lovers of great guitar music. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Rock/Fusion), total running time, 36:58
