ANTHONY COLEMAN PLAYS THE MUSIC OF JELLY ROLL MORTON. Coleman has worked with John Zorn, Glenn Branca and Dave Douglas (to name the proverbial few) and is one of Marc Ribot‚Äôs Cubano postizos. He has led groups such as the Selfhaters and Sephardic Tinge and tours regularly in Europe and the US, He is a voraciously curious musician and a superb pianist who can play Monk, Art Tatum or Sephardic music just as well as he can play post-modern mambo on a Casio. He has applied himself to the music of Jelly Roll Morton the way Borges’ Pierre Menard applied himself to re-writing Don Quixote – and the result is breathtaking. $10
