About the album

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.
George Colligan hat sich in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten einen Namen als außerordentlich einfallsreicher, dynamischer Pianist gemacht, den man als solchen nicht mehr vorstellen muss. Mit Theoretical Planets allerdings zeigt er eine andere und doch gleichermaßen effektive Seite, wenn er sein Quartett von den Drums aus leitet. Der Einfluss vieler Weltklasse-Drummer, mit denen er zusammen gearbeitet hat, zeigt sich hier, doch seine kraftvolle und markante musikalische Vision setzt sich immer durch.
