George Coleman stands among the most respected jazz saxophonists of his generation. An NEA Jazz Master recipient in 2015 and a Memphis Music Hall of Fame inductee (2012), Coleman contributed to the sound of modern jazz through decades of collaborations and an enduring leadership as a bandleader. His early work with the Miles Davis Quintet (1963–1964) positioned him at the center of a transformative era in jazz, while his long-running partnerships with artists such as Herbie Hancock, Betty Carter, Lee Morgan, Cedar Walton, and Elvin Jones helped shape countless classic performances.
