Long known as an inventive pianist and a skilled composer, Cecilia Coleman also became a significant big band leader. The 18-piece Cecilia Coleman Big Band, which includes six saxophonists including a soprano player, has a regular gig at the Garage in Greenwich Village. They have also played at the Zinc Bar, Fat Cat, the St. Peters Jazz at Midday concert series, and the Baha'i Center. “Oh Boy,” the orchestra's debut recording, was recently released on the Interplay label.
