Award-winning composer and player George Colligan first displayed his prodigious talent as a sideman, recording and/or gigging with Don Byron, Ravi Coltrane, Benny Golson, and Cassandra Wilson, to name a few. As a leader, George has amassed a discography of sixteen albums that showcase his intelligent writing and impressive technique with a variety of bands including the organ trio Mad Science. This Jazz Standard one-nighter finds Colligan back at the piano and previewing the tunes featured on his fine new CD, Blood Pressure (Ultimatum).
“One of those fine young talents bubbling just below the collective periscopes of the jazz critical and presenting fraternities. Keep an ear on George Colligan"
--Willard Jenkins, JazzTimes
