Bill Coleman - Bill Coleman: An American in Paris (His 47 Finest)

Bill Coleman, was part of a select group of inspired players who not only enhanced every jazz setting in which he found himself but also, somehow, made his demanding instrument sound easy to play. Coleman�s effortless, silver-toned contributions to great recording sessions are never overlooked by jazz connoisseurs. But for newer arrivals to the music this CD collection conclusively re-illustrates that the contributions to jazz discography of this �American in Paris� were � and are � as gracefully executed and creatively strong as any Gene Kelly routine in or beyond his immortal movie.
