“Mystical composer, great master of unstable metrics, Steve Coleman has been a key figure in the jazz world for over 30 years. However, he himself does not use the term jazz, preferring to consider music as a coherent whole within a coherent whole: the universe. This contempt for the categorization of genres will lead him to wander in different registers, sometimes close to funk, sometimes at the doors of the New York no wave scene, sometimes in traditional African registers. More than an unclassifiable, Steve Coleman is free.
 For almost twenty years, he had not performed in a trio. Yet it is in this configuration that one can appreciate Steve’s unique sound and technique most simply, without a filter. And to understand what makes this saxophonist so unique.”
