AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow This was one of trumpeter Bill Coleman's final recordings (he passed away in Aug. 1981), but there is no hint of his decline on these joyful swing performances. Coleman is teamed up with tenor saxophonist Guy Lafitte (they had recorded together many times previously), pianist Red Richards , bassist Bill Pemberton and drummer Panama Francis for run-throughs of familiar standards such as a heated "Crazy Rhythm," "You've Changed" and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," the lesser-known Dickie Wells line "Hello Babe," and two of Coleman 's basic originals. The result is an upbeat set of swinging music featuring Bill Coleman in surprisingly good form.
Artist Biography by Scott Yanow A mellow-toned swing trumpeter with a distinctive sound and a lyrical style, Bill Coleman was a consistent if never particularly famous musician. In 1927, he went to New York with Cecil and Lloyd Scott 's band, with whom he made his recording debut. He worked with Luis Russell (1929-1932) and Charlie Johnson , and then in 1933 traveled to France with Lucky Millinder . Coleman recorded with Fats Waller (1934) and played with Teddy Hill's Orchestra (1934-1935), but then moved to France for the first time in 1935. While overseas, he recorded frequently as a leader (really coming into his own), with Willie Lewis' Orchestra , and on dates with Django Reinhardt . He ventured as far as Bombay, and spent 1938-1940 in Egypt with Herman Chittison . Returning to New York, Coleman played with Benny Carter , Teddy Wilson , Andy Kirk , Mary Lou Williams , and John Kirby during 1940-1945, and recorded with Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins (both in 1943). However, he preferred life in Europe and, after a period with groups led by Sy Oliver and Billy Kyle , in 1948, Coleman moved permanently back to France, staying active and recording fairly regularly up until his death in 1981.
