Another key purpose of the series is to document the experiences, reminiscences, and musical contributions of members of Coleman’s bands. All videos, including interviews with Bryant’s former Coleman colleagues, are available at https://dbryantmusic.com/third-thursdays/, https://dbryantmusic.com/musician-interviews, and on https://www.youtube.com/@davebryantmusic/videos.
