Re-affirms Collier's feeling for Ellingtonian ideas but the whole record is redolent of the unique Collier spirit.

Recording History
First issued on LP by Saydisc, 1973
First issued on CD by Disconforme, 2000
Remastered and repackaged by BGO records as part of a 2 CD compilation, 2008
Remastered by Tom Leader of LCL Digital.
The Tracks
And Now for Something Completely Different is a complete composition rather than a suite of separate items. The structure and themes came intuitively rather than by deliberate use of technique, but all the themes can be traced back to the opening motif.
Portraits was written for Dick Pearce on flugelhorn. In the original liner notes I wrote `I've tried to portray how I see him in the written sections as well as to present him with sympathetic situations in which he can improvise'.
Some Reviews
Very successfully captures the way the leader's writing spins loose but logical structures out of sparse modal material, the intelligence with which the soloists build on his written ideas, and the amazing variety of textures he produces from such a small instrumentation.
Miles Kington, The Times, 1974
A more laid-back, yet more challenging listen than any previous Collier outing, but it also dates as one of the best.
Thom Jurek, All Music Guide, 2001
Both lengthy tracks are full of telling attention to detail and development.
Simon Adams, Jazz Journal Inernational, 2001
The original album closes with a piece that is one of my personal favourites in the whole Collier Canon, namely `Portraits' itself.
