Jeff has world class rock chops, he also has some of the funkiest grooves out there – and an ability to go ‘outside’ into jazz territory with such an ease and naturalness of touch that to define him as a ‘rock’ guitarist does him disservice. Jeff is one of the most complete players it has ever been my pleasure to hear.Kollman has been voted among the top 20 favorite guitarists in Young Guitar Magazines readers poll along side the likes of Santana, Jeff Beck, and Edward Van Halen.
Besides his worldwide guitar hero status, Jeff is an in demand session guitarist, co writer, and producer for rock legends. Jeff has played and or recorded with a diverse many such as, Jill Scott, Ufo, Glenn Hughes, Lao Tizer, Michael Schenker, HTP, and with his groups Edwin Dare, Cosmosquad, JKB, Mogg/Way, Crumb Bros. and more...(Owen Edwards)

Nice one! Jeff is a f'n beast on guitar - probably the best relatively unknown rock guitar player out there. Had he come out in the 70's or 80's, he'd have legend status like Jeff Beck or Steve Morse now.
