You can always rely on George Colligan for hard-hitting and provocative yet fairly accessible jazz, and Constant Source doesn't disappoint. The pianist is joined by Mark Turner and Jon Gordon on saxes, Ed Howard on bass, and Howard Curtis on drums. With the exception of a multi-meter reworking of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," all the tunes are originals. (The standard and Colligan's ballad "Flint, Michigan" are listed incorrectly, in inverse order, on the back cover.) Highlights include the angular funk of "Pitchrider" and the pained melodicism of "My Eyes That Cried," both of which feature Colligan on Fender Rhodes (an effective demonstration of the instrument's versatility). The tension-filled Latin theme of "Saga" and the extended, free-leaning "Void" represent some of Colligan's best compositional thinking to date. The only thing that surpasses his writing is the white-hot playing from all involved.

George Colligan
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
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.
