George Colligan & Theoretical Planets- Risky Notion (CD)
A wildly inventive, dynamic and ubiquitous pianist for the last two decades, George Colligan certainly needs no introduction in that role. But with his Portland-based band Theoretical Planets, Colligan displays an alternate yet equally effective side as he leads his chord-less, two saxophone quartet from behind the drums. With Colligan's long hours spent on the bandstand with a multitude of the world's premier drummers (he currently tours with Jack DeJohnette and Lenny White), their influences are apparent but his powerful and distinctive musical vision always prevails.
Tracklist:
- Gorgasaurus
- Constantly Breaking My Heart
- Harmawhatics?
- Con Woman
- Impromptu Ballad
- Risky Notion
- Space Gives You Time
- Transparent
- Phantom Friend
- Losing Our Way
