Testimonials
"Considering the complexity of this chops-oriented project, with several layers of intense playing all swirling around at once, Colella should be commended on technical accomplishment alone. ...Colella prefers a fantastic brand of prog music, given to rapid chord changes, odd metering, and flashy soloing that was once measured for its breakneck execution. Thankfully, Colella uses the opportunity here to ease up on the pace, offering some tasteful twists and updated digital technology to the genre. Which is the main feature of "Red Shift," having the keyboardist skillfully emulate the rhythm, reed and strings efforts with ease, combining Keith Jarrett's soft touch with Chick Corea's explosive energy. A powerful debut effort." -author unknown, a local paper
