Sunday - Bill Coleman 1972

One of my favourite trumpet players was Bill Coleman. I compare him in line with Buck Clayton, Frankie Newton and Red Allen. Unfortunately there are not many films of him.
He lived for a large part of his life in France and missed some of the international glory the others had. In a French TV program called Jazz Harmonie Bill plays trumpet. Marc Hemmeler piano, Jimmy Gourley guitar, Pierre Sim bass and Michel Silva drums.
My Siamese cat Mojo liked it as well . He climbed right on the monitor when I was processing the film. I made a photo and added it at the end of this clip. Special cat goes for special music!
