I have unconditional love for Earl Coleman, but I would hesitate to recommend this record to somebody who didn't. His pitch is at times really wobbly, and the record is actually a program of Coleman vocal tracks alternating with Ted Dunbar solo tracks. That programming decision is nowhere explained in the notes (and isn't even hinted at on the cover) and one is left wondering if Coleman was in bad voice that day and Don Schlitten called the session (NP: Don Schlitten - Callin' the Session!!!) and called on Dunbar to make it a record. I'd think f it had been an actual concept that it would have been pimped as such.

But still - I have unconditional love for Earl Coleman. No matter where the notes land, the words always come out in the right place and in the right way.

I think I remember some 1977 Earl Coleman was played on our then very popular austrian Saturday night Radio Show "Jazz Shop", moderated by Herwig Wurzer (I call him the Austrian Symphony Sid), and he also commented Earl Coleman´s Deep voice and announced the record this way "Right now something for the ladies to listen to….."

Sorry to say I don´t have the late 1977 Earl Coleman stuff, but I also love his stuff from the 40´s very much, especially the sides with Fats Navarro and Don Lanphere…….

But I don´t know absolute Nothing about his life.  

On this cover photo he looks quite dapper, almost like Horace Silver…..

New Direction For The Arts - Free Form Suite [Three Blind Mice]

 the arc through this album is astonishing, stylistically starting somewhere like Jim Hall/Jimmy Giuffre and ending up beyond Sonny Sharrock. Terrific musicianship.

It is a good 'un -- still on the lookout for the Moers TBM but I do have the CD of that music.

A palpable yet non-profound pleasure permeates both grooves of this 12"  platter.

Ah yes. A great one!

My cover is a shiny gray instead of gold. No idea why, but who cares?

Dexter makes such a gorgeous sound on the tenor saxophone! A sound as big as a house, but so relaxed and so swinging.

And the rhythm section on this LP -- Kenny Drew, NHØP, and Tootie Heath -- fits Dexter like a glove.

Hutch, that must be a tasty album. You will like the album Dex and NHØP did for Blue Note. It has Donald Byrd on one track, and Arthur Taylor.

NHØP was an amazing bass player. I have the 1965 "Violin Summit", featuring four violinists, and Nils-Henning steals the show. (Not that the fiddle players are not good.)

Shrdlu, you're referring to One Flight Up, right?

If so...

Once through was nice enough, but also enough, period.

Although, Larry Bunker, spunky like a friskymo!

how's the sound on the LP? I've had a few Trost albums that were pretty badly pressed.
