Here's that interview with George Coleman done this year (2021). He seems to be back on alto (I first heard him on alto on Jimmy Smith's "The Sermon").

I've never had much time for Trad Jazz but whenever I see this brilliant opening title sequence
for the 1958 file Look Back in Anger I wonder whether I should have closer look.

The musicians are the Chris Barber band + Richard Burton overdoing it on air trumpet.

I and a few others on here came in at the end of the quiffed, that just sends me daddy-o era, after which it all became much more cool, man.

Probably posted this here before but I don't care, it's so cool! :p

Elvin Jones as the gunslinger drummer in the electric Western, "Zachariah", silver foil (baco?)waistcoat et al! Elvin's acting breakthrough, he's good. Shoots the guy and then plays a drum solo. http://youtu.be/g-IRNECavtI

Certainly is..... even more fiery than the Jazz 625 session, Buhaina is absolutely volcanic on this. The studio album by this band never did it justice.

On a Bobby Hutcherson kick - McCoy Tyner, Bobby, Charnett Moffett and Eric Harland " Moments Notice"

I caught this quartet live in Vienne and was bowled over. They produced an album called "Land of giants" which I enjoyed but I believe there is quite a back catalogue of McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson working together.

I have to say I love the quartet albums Bobby Hitcherson made with Herbie for Blue Note which are ciminally underrated.

Terrific. James Newton is ridiculously under remarked on in the music - a fantastic flute player and composer. I seem to remember he got caught up in some controversy over part of one of his solos being sampled and used unattributed on another recording without his permission. I seem to remember he lost the case for breach of copyright and ended up seriously in debt.

I agree, James Newton is very underrated.
Hadn't heard about his legal tussle with The Beastie Boys:

I think there is no excuse for ripping off James Newton. What is interesting is that the Beastie Boys later repertoire actually edged towards the same musical terriroty as MM&W. Several years ago I overhead guitarist Will Bernhard talk aout the Beastie Boys after a gig and he mentioned that that he thought that they were a really good band. They certainly had strong affinities towards jazz and it is a shame that they had to resort to sampling when it would have been better to have employed Newton directly - esepcially givent the sums of money involved.

Arguably Newton's unmet resort to copyright ironically represents a double-bind for a jazz musician in a capitalistic world where safeguarding your own "product" [sic] requires it being down on score paper. I must admit this whole aspect of the case didn't occur to me at the time.
