Eastern Rebellion (Cedar Walton Quartet featuring George Coleman) - Umbria Jazz Festival 19760720 

Am I nuts to have George Coleman ranked higher than Sonny Rollins on my All time Jazz Tenor Saxophone list? (Rollins is incredible too😅)

This is the kind of music that you parents turn your kids on to. As the late great Charles Mingus once said:"Let my children hear music".

George Coleman deserves much more recognition as a master of his instrument.

Sam Jones was simply.... GREAT

Thanks for sharing this historic footage/concert. I'm surprised to see they played the standard 'Firm Roots', which would only be released a year later on the album 'Eastern Rebellion II'. Love their version of 'Naima', like a Soul Jazz meets Latin/Bossa hybrid groove. George Coleman at the top of his powers and the whole band chemistry incredible. Cedar Walton was a great pianist and composer, and the rhythm section of Sam Jones and Billy Higgins is swinging, alert and tasteful, w/ some nice textures all around. LOL @32:22 - That orange mixing desk is totally 1970s.

9:30-10:01 are big G channeling some incredible focus

Coleman’s control of the saxophone is second to none !

One of my favorite bands and records of all time. What a find.

Thank you for the reupload, it was taken down for a while.

Thanks for sharing this excellent concert !

Fantastic can see mr Coleman still playing

Encontrei nesse vídeo que eu considero um dos melhores de jazz,o nosso Catarinense Luiz Henrique da rosa na plateia como convidado.Cedar Walton e George Coleman quebram tudo e a platéia vibra.Pura emoção,pura nitroglicerina.Viva o jazz.

And then? Billy Higgins solo starting at 55.00: what a concert!

Прекрасный джаз просто изумительный !

Thank you so much for posting this! Ah yes, in 1976 I was a young person chasing music and had the opportunity to hear this Eastern Rebellion group and some variations on it - IIRC with David Williams instead of Sam Jones on the acoustic bass and Bob Berg substituting for George Coleman on saxophones. Nobody had a more gorgeous sound on the cymbals than Billy Higgins!

George on the Lawton mouthpiece 👀 first time I've seen him not playing a Link

iGeorge takin' names on Bolivia...i caught them this same year @ Boomer's

This is jazz to me.

That are the people we`ve been hanging with. What a wonderful time was had by all of us!

Great band and music. Thanks

Ah George...we Yardley knew ya..

Tenor sax enhanced with rubber bands

How does he make these sounds? 7:41 30:33 32:07

Cedar just wasn't able to get this same feel with Bob Berg on the saxophone.

This is grown folks music!!! Real jazz!!!
