Sixteen years after his tragic death, Coleman Mellett’s producer and widow present his final album
NEW YORK CITY: sixteen years after the world lost jazz guitarist Coleman Mellett, his solo album Sing You a Brand New Song is finally being released, capturing a musical spirit brimming with warmth, optimism, and undeniable talent.
Set for release on the anniversary of his tragic passing in 2009, when the plane that was taking him upstate New York for a performance with Chuck Mangione fell from the sky.
The album offers a glimpse into Mellett’s private world of songwriting, influenced by the ’70s singer-songwriters he adored, like James Taylor, Michael Franks and Paul Simon.
Come welcome the album’s producer Barry Miles and Coleman’s widow, vocalist Jeanie Bryson (Dizzy Gillespie’s only child) to our show!
