Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on December 29, 1969)

Happy Birthday to the incredible George Colligan—jazz maestro, eclectic innovator, and sideman extraordinaire! Whether you're dazzling audiences alongside legends like Phil Woods or laying down grooves with Buster Williams and Al Foster, your musical versatility never ceases to amaze. Honestly, we're still trying to figure out how you manage those lightning-fast solos without breaking a sweat.

Here's wishing you another year filled with inspired improvisations, unforgettable collaborations, and plenty of coffee-fueled jam sessions. May your birthday be as timelessly cool as your music—and may every gig bring standing ovations (and fewer requests for "Free Bird"). Cheers!
