Asiaafrica Growth Corridor

Los Angeles produced numerous rock acts in the 80s / 90s, and Storyteller was one of the citys most popular bands. In 1989, Jerome Story found himself working at the same Hollywood Film Studio as Stephen Teller and the two joined to create what would soon become Storyteller. They toured the westcoast extensively building a large and loyal fan base. The first demo was recorded in 1990. Storyteller was not only a hit with American fans but with Europeans and Japanese as well. This did not escape the notice of Don Arden (Manager of Black Sabbath) who immediately signed the band. Working with Producer Jeff Glixman (Kansas/ELO), the band began to work in some of the top studios in L.A.

A modern guitarist for all seasons, Los Angeles-based Jeff Kollman moves seamlessly between everything from electric funk and metal to acoustic folk and blues on his new CD, Silence In the Corridor. Released on his own Marmaduke Records label, it's the latest in a handful of solo efforts by the prolific guitarist and songwriter, who's also part of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith's funky Bombastic Meatbats band.
