Bass player Graham Collier was the first British musician to win a scholarship to, and graduate from, the Berklee School of Music in Boston, USA.In 1967 he obtained an Arts Council bursary to compose an extended work for jazz orchestra called Workpoints. Tonight he features mostly material from his recent LP Down Another Road, one item of which features an exciting solo by the group's pianist, Karl Jenkins, on an unusual double - the oboe.
