They Say...
With such trumpet stars as Louis Armstrong, Red Allen, Rex Stewart, and Cootie Williams grabbing the headlines and the gigs, Bill Coleman found it hard to make a name for his own considerable talents during the nascent swing years. Like many other jazz figures (Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, etc.), Coleman looked to France and Europe for a chance to make a name for himself and catch a break from stateside racism. And while his trip to Paris came about with some luck -- thanks to old friend Freddie Taylor and his need to recruit players for a nightclub stint -- Coleman soon became an in-demand soloist for both live gigs and recording dates overseas. This generous Classics collection brings together his initial dates in the City of Light, both as a leader and with various top local outfits. Featured throughout the 22 tracks are such Parisian jazz luminaries as Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelly, Eddie Brunner, and Alix Combelle. Along with a solid batch of tunes, excellent playing all around, and Coleman's own melodiously clear solos, specific highlights include the Coleman-Reinhardt duet, "Bill Coleman Blues," the trumpeter's vocal turn on "Indiana," and two momentous takes of "After You've Gone." An excellent chronicle of one of jazz's most unsung talents.
