"Collins' music doesn't behave. In fact, it seems to make up it's own rules. 'Fade' contains jazz, minimalism, funk, pop, and rock music. It shatters stereotypes of what the vibraphone can do. The amazing thing is that it all makes perfect sense."

- Mark Saleski (Blogcritics.org & Jazz.com)

"This is one of the best vibraphonists that I've heard in years. Tim's musical creativity really shines through, not to mention Tim and the group having brought a refreshing new sound to the table for us to partake of." - Leon Reyes KVMR 89.5 FM Nevada City/Sacramento Ca

"Collins' vibraphone style, which is pleasant, mature, and full bodied... is nothing less than exemplary"

- DOWNBEAT (MARCH 08)
