Bill COLEMANA Smooth One - 'Live' In Manchester, May 1967
Trumpeter Coleman, strongly influenced by Louis
Armstrong, belongs to that generation of jazz musicians (He was born in 1904)
who set the standard for instrumental performances in the 1930's. But for the
fact that he spent 80% of his career in Europe he would today be one of the
icons of early jazz, comparable in stature to Coleman Hawkins, Red Allen or
Benny Carter. This CD recorded in England in 1967, finds him in great form, not
at all enfeebled by advancing age. Listen to him on the old warhorse "Indiana",
a song he must have played a thousand times before this: he effortlessly spins
off four hot choruses, sings a couple more, and then, after a piano interlude,
takes it out with a pair of choruses that are like an instruction manual on
swing and swinging. A welcome release.
