Best of Soundcheck: Grace Cummings, Isaiah Collier

Grace Cummings is a contemporary Australian musician whose songs often have the big, technicolor sound of the 1960’s. But the featured sound is always her striking voice – as we’ll hear when she plays solo in our studio. Her latest album, Bloodhorse!, wrestles with darkness and doubt, Shakespeare and spirituality. And speaking of spirituality, sax player Isaiah Collier has spent much of this year marking the centennial of John Coltrane’s so-called spiritual jazz by playing Coltrane’s classic A Love Supreme around the country. But at the same time, Collier has also been singing his own brand of spiritual R&B. He brings his band to our studio to play some of his latest tunes from his EP, Joy.
