“The most immediate path to appreciating Coleman's music is simply to let the rhythms take over, because the diverse array of grooves this band has at its disposal is a marvel in itself.” All About Jazz

American saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Steve Coleman is among the most creative exponents of contemporary jazz . Capable of blending jazz with hip-hop and funk rhythms, he has developed a highly personal and recognizable style over the course of his long career, a compositional language that weaves together the many threads of African diaspora music . Each of his concerts with the historic Five Elements group, with their lightning-fast grooves and impetuous solos, is an unrepeatable experience .
