Jazz
George Colligan - piano
Boris Kozlov - acoustic bass
Donald Edwards - drums
"This trio has played together a lot over the years, except we didn't play my music.We were all semi-regular members of the Mingus Big Band and even more so the Mingus Dynasty. Every time we did a tour, I though to myself, " wow , I would love to play some of my music with this trio configuration.'
Thankfully, Tokyo based jazz promoter Kohei Kawakami made it possible with a 10 day stint. From the first gig to the last, we really hit it off, musically and personally. I'm very much looking forward to the next tour which is October 2009! Just a note about the music. With the exception of Come Together and The Shadow of Your Smile, these are all my compositions. While this is essentially an acoustic jazz piano trio CD, there are a lot of elements at play. There's some funkiness, bluesy-ness, bebop, fusion, MBase (look it up if you are not familiar), ballads, fusion, classical influence, polytonality, and just a lot of enthusiasm and energy. While the actual recording time was very brief (I think we were there five hours, taking an hour for lunch), the time that I, Boris, and Donald have put into learning our instruments, and learning how to play music, has been a lifetime. So please, do us a favor and take your time listening to it. You might not get it all on the first go round. It might take 2 listens to hear our lifetimes of musical development!"

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.
