George Colligan - Piano
Jesper Bodilsen - Bass
* Mark Gardner - Liner Notes
* Nils Winther - Engineer, Photography, Producer
George Colligan and Jesper Bodilsen are reunited for a second duo date for Steeplechase, with a program that mixes a few jazz standards with less familiar but equally compelling compositions. The pianist and the bassist quickly establish their musical partnership with "A Wish," an intricate, instantly enchanting ballad that demonstrates that they are on equal terms, with plenty of give and take between them. Sam Rivers' "Beatrice" is stripped down by Colligan and Bodilsen and given a quasi-Latin flavor, while the better-known "Up Jumped Spring" (perhaps Freddie Hubbard's finest composition) contains some of the best solos of the session. An introspective interpretation of "You Must Believe in Spring" adds to the melancholy mood of Michel Legrand's landmark song, while the duo's reworking of "You Don't Know What Love Is" adds to its emotional punch. This CD is heartily recommended to fans of piano-bass duos.

George Colligan
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop
George Colligan is an advanced jazz pianist and composer who has done high-ranking work as a sideman and a leader. His most high-profile association, with vocalist Cassandra Wilson, began in 2000 and continues at the time of this writing. He has also played with Ravi Coltrane, Robin Eubanks, David Gilmore, Myron Walden, Steve Wilson, and many other stellar musicians, young and old. His own bands have boasted talents as formidable as Mark Turner and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Born in New Jersey and raised mostly in Maryland, Colligan began his musical life on the trumpet, an instrument on which he still occasionally performs and records. (Colligan is also a viable jazz drummer.) He attended the Peabody Conservatory as a classical trumpet major but became increasingly drawn to jazz piano. In 1990 he attended the Banff Summer Jazz Workshop in Canada. After several years as a freelancer in the Maryland area, Colligan relocated to New York, where his success has continued to mount. Colligan released his first two albums, 1996's Activism and 1997's Newcomer, on the Steeplechase label. Switching to the Fresh Sound New Talent label, he followed up in 1999 with Unresolved and in 2000 with Desire. Agent 99 appeared in summer 2001.
