O’s Notes: This is an excellent solo piano recording from veteran George Colligan. He composed all of the music, inspired by Martin Luther King’s Dream, hoping that compassion and intelligence can prevail over some recent major setbacks. Colligan communicates from left-hand to right hand, and left hand again and again. Melodies are warm and the mood is bright providing a foundation for a difference. He accentuates the splendor of the session on the closer “Finally A Rainbow“.
