QUOTES FOR MAD SCIENCE
"Great writing, completely different approach to the organgroup
thing... George [Colligan] is a very
brilliant piano player, and it makes sense that he would be brilliant on organ as well... As a creative artist,
he’s really up there... there aren’t a whole lot of cats from his generation that are any better than him. As
a matter of fact, I can’t think of any." Don
Braden, Jazz Times
"George Colligan, an awardwinning
composer and player... draws fans with his zesty work. He is also
prolific as a leader with 15 recordings full of his intelligent writing and impressive technique. Tom Guarna
(Blood Sweat & Tears, Yellow Jackets, Randy Brecker) contributes compositions and mellifluous guitar
work and Grammy winner
Rodney Holmes (Zawinul Syndicate, Brecker Brother, Carlos Santana) places
notes and sounds with an artist's touch." Modern
Drummer
