At 80 years old, Coleman sounds, as ever, both vital and timeless. He’s obviously invigorated by the deep sense of swing and classic hard-bop feel of the quartet he’s assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA MASTER SPEAKS is Coleman’s first release as a leader in nearly 20 years and first recording since the 2002 all-star live tribute album FOUR GENERATIONS OF MILES. The rarity of the session is remarkable in itself; even more special is the fact that it grew out of a desire shared by Coleman and his son, drummer George Coleman Jr., to finally record together. They’re joined by a stellar band featuring pianist Mike LeDonne and bassist Bob Cranshaw, with guitarist Peter Bernstein making a special guest appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA man of few words, Coleman nonetheless conveys his thoughts with unparalleled eloquence when he speaks through his instrument, as profoundly evidenced by the nine tracks on A MASTER SPEAKS, his long-overdue return to the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ereleased April 8, 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eGeorge Coleman – tenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003e\nMike LeDonne – piano\u003cbr\u003e\nBob Cranshaw – bass\u003cbr\u003e\nGeorge Coleman, Jr. – drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePeter Bernstein – guitar on “Blues for B.B.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRecorded Live November 24, 2015\u003cbr\u003e\nat Sear Sound, Studio C, New York City\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduced by Paul Stache\u003cbr\u003e\nCo-Produced by Eric Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\nAssociate Producer: Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded by Chris Allen\u003cbr\u003e\nStudio Assistant: Grant Valentine\u003cbr\u003e\nMixed by Roman Klun \u0026amp; Paul Stache\u003cbr\u003e\nMastered by Roman Klun\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotography by John Abbott\u003cbr\u003e\nInside Photo by Dave Kaufman\u003cbr\u003e\nLiner Notes Editing by Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign by Damon Smith \u0026amp; Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMike LeDonne appears courtesy of Savant Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eExecutive Producers: Frank Christopher \u0026amp; Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smoke Sessions Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56382106665342,"sku":"SSR-1603-CD","price":45.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/SSR-1603-CD.jpg?v=1760095242","url":"https:\/\/8merch.shop\/products\/george-coleman-a-master-speaks-cd","provider":"8Merch Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
