I saw George this past summer at the jazz fest here in Rochester. I was concerned when he made his entrance as he needed assistance. Well, his playing didn't show any sign of deterioration, he was burnin'. It's hard to believe he's 84 years old. The late Harold Mabern was in accompaniment on piano. I'm so glad I got to see him, he was extraordinary as well. Friends that saw them at the second show said they played for an hour and forty-five minutes with no break and Mabern had to beg George to shut it down! Long live George Coleman!
