Now that's what I call a jazz gig! The guy sitting on top of the piano, the bottles on the piano, the scatting and the horn playing! This wasn't no posh gig in a so called music college. This was the real deal.
You called it right!
Bill Coleman was born in Paris, Kentucky in 1904 - and it's his swinging trumpet on the Fats Waller classic 'Dream Man'. He joined the guys like Dickie Wells, who went out to Paris, France in the 1930's - and recorded on some of the wonderful 'Americans in Paris' series. He obviously fell in love with the country - it seems he went back to live in France in the 1940's, after WW2 ...... he settled there, after a period touring with Lucky Millinder's band. Anyway, he preferred the life across the pond - Bill Coleman eventually died in Toulouse in the early 1980' - so the lifestyle in France obviously suited him. It's ironic that he was born in that other Paris though!
Bill Coleman also has a bit part in the novel Half Blood Blues recently reviewed. A fantastic must read story.
My recollection is that Bill Coleman appeared with the Alex Welsh Band in 1975 at Gosforth Civic Hall, not the Connaught Hall.
I can't remember anything about the music, except to say that by that time the Welsh Band was past the tremendous peaks it reached in the period say 1966-71. An earlier performance in the region by Bill Coleman was at Redcar Jazz Club in April 1966,when he was accompanied by the Bruce Turner Jump Band. This is confirmed by the history of the Club published by the local council in 1996.
Yes, it was the Bruce Turner Jump Band that accompanied him at the Connaught in 1966 as confirmed in Chris Yates' book Blue Horizons.
I think I should have said 1976 not 1975 for Bill Coleman at Gosforth Civic Hall.
And for a really useless piece of information - when Roger Vadim married Brigitte Bardot, Guy Lafitte was his best man.
