Keeping his impeccable groove going, contemporary urban jazz bassist Mitchell Coleman (www.mitchellcolemanjr.com) is quickly emerging as an indie force to be reckoned with, becoming one of the top sellers on CD Baby with his critically-acclaimed full-length debut Soul Searching and making an impact at radio with his new single "Flow."

Now being spun on more than 60 U.S. and international terrestrial and internet outlets, the infectious track recently made its debut at #40 with a bullet on the Mediabase Smooth A/C Chart and is holding steady at #25 on the SmoothJazz.com Radar Chart, ahead of such bestselling albums as Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga's Cheek To Cheek and sharing chart space with smooth jazz stars Eric Darius, Nathan East, Brian Simpson and Marion Meadows. "Flow" is also #1 at WNWV-FM 107.3 "The Wave" in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition to terrestrial stations everywhere from Springfield, Mass. and Montgomery, Alabama to Little Rock, Cleveland and Nashville, Coleman's tracks have been featured on prominent online outlets, including The Smooth Jazz Ride, Smooth Grooves Radio/UK, CJazzChannel.com and the Phase Radio Show in Australia.

Soul Searching continues to receive rave reviews from prominent online platforms. Recently the site www.bmansbluesreport.com posted, "I just received the newest release from Mitchell Coleman, Jr. and it's smooth! Opening with 'Flow,' a groovin' funky slap bass track with Coleman laying it down and Michael Bolivar hitting the sax with sweet soul."
