Custom Recording of A Salute to George Coleman from the 2012 Litchfield Jazz Festival
Executive Director Vita Muir had been looking for a way to more closely link the Litchfield Jazz Camp and Festival, and the opportunity presented itself during a camp faculty concert last summer, part of the “Kent Has That Jazz” series.
Teaching Artist Gary Smulyan had been working on the music of George Coleman with his students in their combo, and thought it would be great to present at a faculty concert. He couldn’t have imagined he response – it was so well received that Muir got on stage after the set and said, “How would you like to hear this music on the Litchfield Jazz Festival next summer?” She hired the whole band on the spot – the George Coleman Salute was born.
The Salute features Mr. Coleman’s own arrangements with Gary on baritone sax, Jeff Leder and Don Braden on tenor, Onaje Allen Gumbs on piano, Marcus McLaurine on bass, Matt Wilson (Artist-in-Residence from 2010/2011, Dave Ballou on trumpet, and Kris Allen on alto. Mr. Coleman’s health did not permit him to commit so far in advance, so Gary chose tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander as a special guest as he is a Coleman protégé.
You will own the only copy of this historic performance. The recording will be delivered to the winner by September 30th, 2012.
