George Coleman – George Coleman At Yoshi's (2xLP)

Releases by George Coleman are rare, which is why jazz fans eagerly await every appearance. The recording of the grandiose concert at "Yoshi's" in Oakland, California from the late eighties is a treat and comes into its own even more intensely in the sound-optimized guise. The tenor saxophonist Coleman, who comes from Memphis, Tennessee, and the musicians Ray Drummond on bass, Harold Mabern on piano and Alvin Queen on drums play passionately and refined - this LP gives pleasure on full width.
