Description
‘In Baltimore’ is a hard swinging, free wheeling, never released before live set from tenor saxophone legend George Coleman. The George Coleman Quintet, completed by trumpeter Danny Moore, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer Harold White, are captured in blistering form at Baltimore’s Famous Ballroom in 1971.
One of jazz’s most powerful tenor saxophonists and his well-oiled ensemble play with such unerring synchronicity that a listener might be excused for assuming that most of the arrangements had been laid out beforehand. Not so, according to Coleman’s testimonial in the liner notes: “We didn’t do much written stuff… it was going to sound like an arrangement, which it was, but it wasn’t written… we just went in and played.” A thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Brand new & sealed CD from 2020.
