Tom Collier - 70+ years Behind Bars

70+ years of studio and live vibraphone/marimba recordings by Seattle-based Tom Collier. Beginning with his first public appearance on xylophone in April, 1954, and continuously performing ever since, Collier, was once billed as "Tommy Collier, Boy Wonder On The Marimba". After transitioning from Tommy to Tom in the late 1960's, he spent time in the Los Angeles studio scene appearing on recordings and concerts with such notable artists including Olivia Newton-John, The Beach Boys, Peggy Lee, Barbra Streisand and Ry Cooder (to name a few). After relocating to Seattle to become a member of the Music Faculty at the University of Washington, Collier began recording under his own name (sometimes with bassist Dan Dean). The music videos on this channel are comprised of unreleased recordings, and/or soon to be released tracks on "legacy albums".
