Pianist and composer George Colligan has enjoyed a long association with drum legend Jack DeJohnette, playing in Jack’s own band for six years. Jack returned the favor on George’s acclaimed 2013 release The Endless Mysteries with Larry Grenadier rounding out the trio. A year later, George and Jack performed the music live at Manhattan’s legendary, but now closed, Jazz Standard club, this time featuring Linda May Han Oh on bass. This exclusive one-off performance entered into legend, equaling and perhaps surpassing the studio album in intensity and excitement. Now the recordings from that gig are released on Whirlwind Recordings as Live At The Jazz Standard. It’s a compelling snapshot of a moment in the lives of three master musicians, all at different stages in their journey with the music, but all coming together in perfect accord to deliver a set pf performances that dazzle with their power, empathy and utter conviction.

George and Jack’s relationship stretches back fifteen years to a chance encounter at a rehearsal for Don Byron’s big band. George turned up early that day to find the rest of the band absent, but Jack already set up and waiting: “We just started playing: he showed me some of his tunes, and we had a great time. Jack took my number, and two years later I got a call to join his band. Jack was an idol of mine for so many years; not only because I’m a pianist who also plays drums, and he’s a drummer who also plays piano. He’s had such an impact on the music and has played on so many of the best albums ever. More than a drummer, he’s a premium interpreter of music.” George has played with Linda Oh already at this earlier stage in her career and had no hesitation in calling her to fill Larry Grenadier’s chair. “Linda is amazing - she always brings her A game, and she really brought her double A game for this. It almost sounds like her album. Such a tremendous musician.”
