I’ve posted about Jeff Kollman before. I discovered him in the 1990’s and I was amazed. He blended between hard jazz, and shred metal, layin’ down those thangs that tickled my pleasure centers.

[Musical Interlude: Jeff KollmanFrom back when I still harbored dreams of being a rockstar guitar player, I went on a soul search to find people who I admired and could be inspired by. I had all the big names. Van Halen, Gary Moore, Vinnie Moore, Randy Rhoads, and many many more. I also latched on to some more grounded players, and even some hard jazz.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/2025/07/156f57cd-d987-4046-843d-a83ba9b085ce_600x600-jpeg-22.jpg)Sweaty SpiceGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/2025/07/pb0zjozrtrm.jpg)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/p/musical-interlude-jeff-kollman)

I’ve written about him recently, and he has an album that will be out next month, that I will definitely buy, preferably on vinyl.

Today, I stumbled on this short-ish vid where he works out a lick.

Well, he calls it a lick, I call it magic. a bit under 4 minutes, and damn it is just amazing.

Just amazing stuff.
