Here the American pianist George Colligan teams up with some of Denmark’s finest interpreters of modern jazz. All 4 participants have contributed with compositions to this musical meeting, which took place on a cold January day in a little studio in Copenhagen. Space on the CD has also been provided for standards such as Bonislaw/Kapers’ “Invitation”, Horace Silver’s “Peace” and Kurt Weill’s “My Ship”.

Ulrik and Colligan played together in New York about 10 years ago, while Bodilsen has both toured and recorded with Colligan. So this session has been both a happy reunion and - for Anders Mogensen - an unforgettable first encounter. George Colligan has just joined Jack DeJohnette’s new quintet that includes sax player Rudresh Mahanthappa, featured on the Blackout Music release Real People. The Meeting marks the continuation of drummer Mogensen’s collaboration with Blackout Music, which has released several of his latest CDs.

“One of the best kept secrets in jazz, pianist George Colligan has developed an intrepid attitude that goes hand-in-hand with a strong sense of identity…”. Chris Hoven, All About Jazz
