Read "Invisible Paths: First Scattering" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Steve Coleman and Five Elements: Weaving Symbolics

Read "Weaving Symbolics" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


Philosopher, conceptualist, theoretician and supremely original alto saxophonist Steve Coleman has issued more than twenty albums over the last twenty years under his own name, all of which helped perpetuate his notion of the M-Base (macro-basic array of spontaneous extemporization) collective. Less a musicians' club than a way of thinking about music creation, Coleman and his ...
