"Groovin' With Big G" - Brian Charette featuring George Coleman
May 21 Blue Note NYC "Both B-3 stylist and student, serious jazz scholar and glitzy entertainer, Charette is a burning soloist who understands the tradition of the Hammond B-3 as well its future-just as certainly as he understands his place in that lineage." Ken Micallef, Downbeat Magazine.
