  • Description

    For this first release on Whirlwind, 'More Powerful', Pianist and composer George Colligan leads a vibrant trio and quartet session of original music with artists with whom he has enjoyed a long association - double bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Rudy Royston - plus rising saxophonist Nicole Glover.

    Colligan has cemented his reputation through innumerable bandstand appearances as soloist and sideman, including collaborations with artists such as Jack DeJohnette, Larry Grenadier, Don Byron and Cassandra Wilson - and his prolific studio output has been documented on over a hundred albums.

    In this nine-track recording, the pianist's music is influenced by life experiences and fleeting soundbites, as well as the players he is privileged to work with - and it's very much his forward-looking integrity which fires these accessible compositions.

    Personnel: George Colligan (piano), Linda May Han Oh (double bass), Rudy Royston (drums), Nicole Glover (tenor and soprano saxophone)
