Collin Shook is a 27-year-old American pianist. One of the locals in the Austin jazz scene, he's among the young players bringing energy and mindfulness to the music while stepping on the shoulders of its' history.

Collin's compositions and voice as a pianist lends towards a blend of more modern, post-bop pianistic styles, drawing influence from Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Tommy Flannigan, as well as Brad Mehldau, Stefano Bollani, Aaron Parks....
