Bill Coleman Trumpet, Vocals
Although trumpeter Bill Coleman was somewhat forgotten in the United States when he permanently moved to France in 1948, he still had over 30 years of excellent music making ahead of him. This 1993 CD reissue brings back the music originally recorded for an LP by the British 77 label. Coleman teams up with three French musicians (trombonist Francois Guin, pianist Michael Garret and bassist Jean-Francois Cotorie), and expatriate drummer Art Taylor for a set of swing standards. Coleman is heard throughout in top form and the trumpet/trombone frontline works quite well. Highlights include "For Me and My Gal," "I Ain't Got Nobody," "Rosetta" and "I Believe in Miracles" (an offbeat selection that Fats Waller had recorded decades earlier). This is one of the few later Bill Coleman sessions available on CD. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Bill Coleman
Active Decades: '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s
Born: Aug 04, 1904 in Paris, KY

Genre: Jazz
A mellow-toned swing trumpeter with a distinctive sound and a lyrical style, Bill Coleman was a consistent if never particularly famous musician. In 1927, he went to New York with Cecil and Lloyd Scott's band, with whom he made his recording debut. He worked with Luis Russell (1929-1932) and Charlie Johnson, and then in 1933 traveled to France with Lucky Millinder. Coleman recorded with Fats Waller (1934) and played with Teddy Hill's Orchestra (1934-1935), but then moved to France for the first time in 1935. While overseas, he recorded frequently as a leader (really coming into his own), with Willie Lewis' Orchestra, and on dates with Django Reinhardt. He ventured as far as Bombay, and spent 1938-1940 in Egypt with Herman Chittison. Returning to New York, Coleman played with Benny Carter, Teddy Wilson, Andy Kirk, Mary Lou Williams, and John Kirby during 1940-1945, and recorded with Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins (both in 1943). However, he preferred life in Europe and, after a period with groups led by Sy Oliver and Billy Kyle, in 1948, Coleman moved permanently back to France, staying active and recording fairly regularly up until his death in 1981.
