George Coleman

DIGIPACK EDITION

This is tenor saxophonist and NEA Jazz Master George Coleman first album as a leader in nearly 20 years. It also marks the 80-year-old Coleman’s first recording of any type since the 2002 all-star live tribute album Four Generations of Miles. This music just proves that, at 80, he’s still one of the most fluent and inventive tenor saxophonists around. Another solid release for the label of the small NYC jazz club.
