Biography

Ervan F. "Bud" Coleman (July 7, 1921 – May 26, 1967) was an American guitar and mandolin player. A member of the Baja Marimba Band, he also worked with Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass and wrote the hit track "Tijuana Taxi" for the band. On the liner notes for the song "Tijuana Taxi", on Herb Alpert's Definitive Hits, Alpert wrote: "[Tijuana Taxi] was written by Bud Coleman who also played guitar and mandolin on many Tijuana Brass recordings until his untimely death. Bud wrote some great songs for us, but this one had a fabulous visual image of a Tijuana Taxi moving off a road and taking short cuts through the fields of Tijuana, Mexico." "Tijuana Taxi" was originally released on the 1965 hit album, Going Places which topped the US album chart.
