27th May 2025: George Colligan’s ‘Live at the Jazz Standard’ International Press Highlights

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 favour 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 of performances that dazzle with their power, empathy and utter conviction.

Released in May 2025, ‘Live at the Jazz Standard’ has since received glowing reviews from the international press. Watch the video below for highlights.
