Description
Bill Coleman, was part of a select group of inspired players who not only enhanced every jazz setting in which he found himself but also, somehow, made his demanding instrument sound easy to play. Coleman’s effortless, silver-toned contributions to great recording sessions are never overlooked by jazz connoisseurs. But for newer arrivals to the music this CD collection conclusively re-illustrates that the contributions to jazz discography of this ‘American in Paris’ were – and are – as gracefully executed and creatively strong as any Gene Kelly routine in or beyond his immortal movie.
