Jazz
Recorded December 20, 2001 in Brooklyn, NY, USA by Max Bolleman
George Colligan (P)
Gary Thomas (Ts / Fl)
Drew Gress (B)
Ralph Peterson (D)
Part of a new breed, George Colligan has expanded the mainstream language in novel ways that distinguish him as one of the strongest new voices to come along in some time.
Although he's recorded several critically acclaimed albums for other labels, Ultimatum is his Criss Cross debut.
The program of meaty Colligan originals gets a workout in the hands of Gary Thomas, tenor sax and flute, Drew Gress, bass, and Ralph Peterson Jr, drums.
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.
