Legendary tenor saxophonist George Coleman—a renowned performer and living legend—is no stranger to SMOKE Jazz Club. The NEA Jazz Master opened the club in 1999 and returned to christen its reopening in July 2022. This upcoming visit has Coleman at the helm of a special quintet that includes guitarist Peter Bernstein, bassist John Webber, and his drummer son George Coleman Jr. He is still making some of the most inspired music of his celebrated career, which has included work with B.B. King, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock, among many others. Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, the blues remains at the heart of Coleman’s harmonically advanced music. Downbeat reports, “When you hear the tenor sax of George Coleman, you know it’s him within a few notes. That deep park of a tone evokes a time and place—be it his historic work with Max Roach, Chet Baker, and Miles Davis, or as a leader in his own right.”
