STEVE COLEMAN & FIVE ELEMENTS

With an impressive command of improvisation, Coleman brings with him a freedom of expression that transports us to immersive sounds, almost imperceptibly. Challenging musical labels, he declares that he does not understand the "labels imposed on musical styles", preferring to refer to the music of Miles Davis or Coltrane, highlighting the uniqueness of each musician and their creation.

A deep researcher of music from the "African diaspora" is not limited by borders. With forays into several countries, from Brazil to Cuba, from Ghana to Haiti, he delves into cultures such as Candomblé, Santeria, Polyrhythms and Voodoo, among others. His musical experiences and stages shared with other cultures are fundamental pillars in his journey: the connection with African-American music.

Collaborating with renowned names such as Greg Osby, Cassandra Wilson and Dave Murray, Coleman, with his imposing calling card, makes his presence more than a performance; it is actually a dive into the essence of music, providing unique and unforgettable experiences for jazz aficionados around the world.

If you hear a young musician playing a harmonically ambiguous, talkative kind of contemporary jazz, there's a fair bet that the inspiration came from Steve Coleman

Steve Coleman's aesthetic twins his lilting alto sax with an interlocking rhythmic jigsaw of displaced beats and odd accents, compound time signatures and unresolving harmonic structures
