Coleman Mellett
Born:
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, 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.
While Mellett was celebrated as a core member of Chuck Mangione’s band, few knew about his deep connection to singer-songwriter traditions. Inspired by his wife, renowned jazz vocalist Jeanie Bryson, and their life together, Mellett recorded dozens of songs in his home studio, weaving love, joy, and reflection into each track. His music, though rooted in jazz, draws from folk and pop, creating a sound that feels both timeless and warmly familiar.
