1. Bill Coleman (1904-1981) was a jazz trumpeter from the swing era.
He had his musical debut in 1927. Coleman’s first recordings were with the Luis Russell orchestra, but all solos on record went to the rising star Henry “Red ” Allen. This led to Bill Coleman’s departure from the band. By 1935 he worked with Fats Waller. In 1935 he also moved for the first time to France. This led to his working with European musicians like Django Reinhardt in the mid-1930s. He later spent time in Egypt working with Herman Chittison. In 1943 he worked with the American saxophonists Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins.
He returned to France in 1948 and spent the rest of his life there in part due to racial segregation. In 1974 he received the Ordre National du Mérite.
2. Bill Coleman is a musician from Cork, Ireland, who released his debut album, “I’ll Tear My Own Walls Down”, in February of 2007. His music has been compared, rightly or wrongly, to Elvis Costello and the Cure, but what definitely distinguishes him from the hordes of talented young men with guitars are his glorious sense of melody and heartfelt, but never saccharine, vocals.

gakko Oh no... we are back in the "George Coleman" vs. "George Coleman" swamp again! Both George Colemans are black, so that´s even more confusing, with jazz buffs voting for the other everything-but-jazz-guy. It would be a lot easier if all of us had numbers instead of names.

nola-hepcat Same thing happened with George Lewis, the clarinet legend from New Orleans and a more recent trombone player (who is likely pretty good but still). Always annoying! To me Bill Coleman is a Lengend of Jazz.

nicodp Can't we talk about the young Bill Coleman and the older Bill Coleman. To me Bill Coleman is synonym to jazz anyway, not that I have anything against the young Bill, he is unknown to me ;-)
