Gloria Coleman
Gloria started playing the violin as her first instrument, but
switched to the bass later. In 1952, she started to perform as a bassist
in Chicago and Philadelphia. But more and more, Gloria's interest was
devoted to the piano, then to the organ. Deep influences an her had the music
of Wild Bill Davis and Jimmy Smith.
Like Shirley Scott, the other great female organ player, Gloria married a saxophonist, George Coleman, whose work led her further career. Gloria passed away on 15 February 2010. |
