ABOUT STEVE'S WORK
Steve Coleman is an alto saxophonist and composer whose technical virtuosity and engagement with musical traditions and styles from around the world are expanding the expressive and formal possibilities of spontaneous composition.
Whether performing solo or with his regular ensemble, Steve Coleman and Five Elements, Coleman delivers signature performances of notated works and brings a masterful facility to intricate and complex improvised pieces. His original compositions weave disciplined rhythmic structures, refined tonal progressions, and overlapping and mixed meters into soulful and fluid interpretations. In his improvisational performances, Coleman energizes and updates iconic musical idioms in the creative traditions of luminaries like John Coltrane and Charlie Parker by infusing them with melodic, rhythmic, and structural components inspired by music of the larger African Diaspora, as well as from the continents of Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas (in particular, West Africa, Cuba, Brazil, Europe, India, and Indonesia). His work also draws heavily on inspiration from nature, metaphysics, and science, integrating, for example, patterns derived from the cycles and relationships of the planets in our solar system or, as on Functional Arrhythmias (2013), the pulsating patterns of the human heart.
Coleman’s commitment to mentorship and community has also distinguished his career. M-Base (Macro-Basic Array of Structured Extemporizations), a cooperative that Coleman co-founded in the mid-1980s and that is still vital today as the non-profit organization M-Base Concepts, Inc., provides a supportive environment for musical experimentation and original performance, and his workshops, seminars, online instruction, and interdisciplinary collaborations encourage younger musicians both here and abroad to push the boundaries of their craft. Influential well beyond the scope of saxophone performance and composition, Coleman is redefining the vocabulary and vernaculars of contemporary music.
BIOGRAPHY
Steve Coleman attended Illinois Wesleyan University (1974–1976) and Roosevelt University (1976–1977. In addition to giving workshops worldwide, he has been an artist in residence at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (2009–2010) and the Thelonious Monk Institute (2008–2009) and a faculty member at the University of California at Berkeley (2000–2002), the Stanford Jazz Workshop (1995–1996), and the Banff School of Fine Arts (1985–1991). His extensive catalog of recordings includes Harvesting Semblances and Affinities (2010), Invisible Paths: First Scatterings (2007), and Resistance Is Futile (2002), among many others.
无论是独奏还是与他的固定乐团Steve Coleman and Five Elements合奏，Coleman都能对有记号的作品进行标志性的表演，并为复杂的即兴作品带来高超的技巧。他的原创作品将严谨的节奏结构、精致的音调进展、重叠和混合的音阶编织成深情而流畅的诠释。在他的即兴表演中，科尔曼在约翰-科尔特兰和查理-帕克等名人的创作传统中注入了旋律、节奏和结构成分，灵感来自更大的非洲散居地以及非洲、欧亚和美洲大陆（特别是西非、古巴、巴西、欧洲、印度和印度尼西亚）的音乐，从而使标志性的音乐习性得到增强和更新。他的作品也从自然、形而上学和科学中汲取了大量的灵感，例如，整合了来自太阳系中行星的周期和关系的模式，或者像《功能性心律失常》（2013）那样，整合了人类心脏的脉动模式。
科尔曼对指导和社区的承诺也使他的职业生涯与众不同。M-Base（Macro-Basic Array of Structured Extemporizations）是科尔曼在20世纪80年代中期共同创立的一个合作社，作为非营利组织M-Base Concepts, Inc.至今仍具有活力，它为音乐实验和原创表演提供了一个支持性的环境，他的讲习班、研讨会、在线指导和跨学科合作鼓励国内外的年轻音乐家推动其技艺的极限发展。科尔曼的影响远远超出了萨克斯风演奏和作曲的范围，他正在重新定义当代音乐的词汇和方言。
