Colligan, George
Activism
George Colligans debut album Activism returns in a newly pressed 180g LP edition, celebrating its 1996 arrival as one of the most confident first statements of its era. At just 25, Colligan emerged as one of New Yorks most in-demand pianists, and this trio recording captures the full force of that promise. Joined by bassist Dwayne Burno and drummer Ralph Peterson, he approaches works by Wayne Shorter, Duke Pearson, Horace Silver, Thelonious Monk, Fats Waller, and Freddie Hubbard with the assurance of a seasoned bandleader.
