Jazz Bastard Podcast 215 - Cooking with Coleman

Jazz Bastard Podcast

In honor of a Record Store Day release of "In Baltimore", we decide to devote an episode to tenor saxophonist George Coleman, who served tours of duty with Max Roach, Elvin Jones, and Miles Davis among others. The focus is on his mid-sixties to early seventies work as we ponder George's strengths and weaknesses and whether he's been given a fair shake in jazz history. Pop matters touches on several groups and then wanders over into a discussion of jazz clubs because we're on our own without adult supervision and who can stop us? Herbie Hancock – MAIDEN VOYAGE; Miles Davis – MY FUNNY VALENTINE / FOUR AND MORE; Elvin Jones – POLY CURRENTS; George Coleman – IN BALTIMORE.
