George Colligan at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Pianist George Colligan is Portland based and world class in every way. Family and a professorship at Portland State brought him here, but the pianist is an on demand player as a sideman and a leader.

Pianist George Colligan is Portland based and world class in every way.

To see a musician of this status in a small room is a rarity and a great chance for Seattle jazz fans to witness virtuosity up close. Colligan played the SJF weekley at Vermillion in 2023, and the room was full early on this first come, first served event. Same deal down in Pioneer Square, so get there early.
