Headliner: Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few
Saxophone virtuoso Isaiah Collier and his powerhouse ensemble, The Chosen Few, bring their transcendent sound to the 2025 Madison Jazz Festival at the Memorial Union Terrace. Hailed by the New York Times as “an heir apparent to both the Chicago lineage and the post-Coltrane sax tradition,” Collier fuses spiritual jazz, cosmic improvisation, and social commentary into a sonic experience that defies boundaries. The band’s critically acclaimed albums, including Cosmic Transitions (2021) and The World Is On Fire (2024), showcase Collier's ability to channel the past and future simultaneously. Don't miss this electrifying performance that promises to be a highlight of the 2025 Madison Jazz Festival. (Source: Wisconsin Union)
