1951-1952 Review by Steve Leggett
Bill Coleman is woefully unsung in jazz circles, probably because he spent half his professional career as an expatriate American jazz musician living in Europe. An excellent swing trumpeter, Coleman had an affinity for the blues as well, and this collection of sides from 1951 and 1952 shows a wonderfully lyric player on such tracks as the opener, "Bing Bang Blues," and such classic standards as "Lester Leaps In," "Pennies From Heaven," and the two-part "St. Louis Blues." Coleman shows an affable and comfortable vocal style (although its good that he never set aside his horn) as well on a couple cuts here, the telling "The Blues Jumped and Got Me" and the set closer, the immortal "St. James Infirmary."

Give it a like if you liked it, a hug...
