  • Description

    Like almost all jazz musicians of his generation, Bill Coleman's first inspiration was Louis Armstrong. By the early 1930s he was a professional musician working with the bands of Charlie Johnson and Lucky Millinder, and recording with the young Fats Waller.

    Sadly, he gained the title of the most underrated swing trumpeter simply because most of his working life was spent outside of America, mainly in France.

    Oddly, he didn't visit England until the 1960s, but professionally captured in 1967is the superb concert presented here, over 85 minutes of brass mastery from a sometimes overlooked master.
