Der bekannte Saxophonist George Coleman widmet sich auf "I Could Write A Book" zum ersten Mal der Musik eines einzigen Komponisten - nämlich der des berühmten Richard Rogers. Wer kennt nicht seine Ballade My Funny Valentine oder den Evergreen My Favorite Things? Das George Coleman Quartet interpretiert das "klassische" Material äußerst kreativ und auf sehr eigenständige Weise. Bevor das Quartet gegründet wurde spielte George Coleman mit vielen der besten Jazz-Stars wie Max Roach, Slide Hampton sowie Miles Davis zusammen, um nur einige zu nennen. Das hervorragend konzipierte Projekt von "I Could Write A Book" entstand ursprünglich aus einer Live Performance des Quartets während des Carnegie Hall Jazz Konzerts. Das damalige Programm wurde für diese CD überarbeitet und erweitert. Neben George Coleman (Saxophon) spielen Harold Mabern (Piano), Jamil Nasser (Bass) und Billy Higgins (Drums).
Product Information:
The legendary George Coleman, who has led his Quartet in major concert halls, festivals, and clubs throughout the world since 1972, is featured here in his first tribute to a single composer on I Could Write a Book.
Saxophonist George Coleman, one of America’s most highly regarded musicians and teachers, focuses on the music of legendary American composer Richard Rodgers for his Telarc debut.
The idea for Coleman to record an entire album of Rodgers’ material sprang from a concert tribute to Rodgers and songwriting partner Lorenz Hart featuring Coleman’s quarter. Choosing and arranging thirteen of Rodgers’ compositions for his band, Coleman has honed his quartet to perfection.
George Coleman himself could write a book on the history of modern jazz. I Could Write A Book: The Music of Richard Rodgers would be another splendid and powerful chapter.
