Description
180g audiophile double vinyl reissue of saxophonist George Coleman's 1989 LP 'George Coleman at Yoshi's', featuring Ray Drummond, Harold Mabern and Alvin Queen, with re-mastering by Cicely Baston at Alchemy/Air Mastering.

"When any recording made by George Coleman is issued, it's an instant event. Though Coleman has always been busy performing, writing, and especially teaching, scant few LPs or CDs have come listeners' way. It is especially thrilling to hear him live in concert performance at the initial site of the then newly minted Yoshi's in Oakland, CA, as his extended techniques and heightened sense of tonal ideas come fully to the fore. Coleman and pianist Harold Mabern, both originally from the fertile jazz scene in Memphis, make the perfect tandem, ably supported by super pros in expatriate drummer Alvin Queen and veteran New York bassist Ray Drummond." - Michael G. Nastos

Press:

"Pure Pleasure Records has done an outstanding job in re-mastering George Coleman At Yoshi's to 180-gram vinyl. The stereo separation is excellent. with pristine sonic details of all four instruments. This is a fine jazz album." - Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition

"The playing on this album should remind us of Coleman's greatness, not just as a sideman (where he is acknowledged as such) but as a leader. This is an album I have played many times; the music is so fresh and, dare I say, inspirational. It is an album of ballads that take the level of playing and creativity to a much higher level than most. It is truly one of the great live jazz LPs" - The Audio Beat
