Gheorghe Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Great musician. I saw him live around the time when he recorded "Amsterdam After Dark". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 First time I saw him was in '79 at the KK with Hilton. Also right after Amsterdam After Dark - one of his best. The first Eastern Rebellion is a classic of the era, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambrasa Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I saw him in Montreal 2007, with Mike Stern. He sounded pretty fragile then, but I was glad to have witnessed this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere I have read that George Coleman was not too happy with the setting without piano and with Mike Stern. So it´s interesting that they continued to work together later.
