2-CD set which also contains two video parts including an exclusive interview with Steve Coleman as well as an improvised duet with drummer Marcus Gilmore.
The occasionally severe American alto-saxist Steve Coleman is the man who invented the m-Base tag to describe the influential New York jazz/avant-funk movement of the late 1980s. He's recently been energising his enigmatically counter-melodic, dynamically narrow ensemble music with adventurously Latin-funky grooves - and Weaving Symbolics, despite its title, develops that inviting vein. An ambitious double-CD with a big cast and a movie of Coleman playing a Charlie Parker tribute and explaining his work, it might contain a shade too much contemporary-classical vocal gymnastics and long, entwining group improv for regular jazzers - but it's full of surprises, stunning playing, and an idiomatic breadth that reflects contributing sessions conducted in Brazil, New York and Philadelphia. The classically-trained Taiwanese singer Jen Shyu is a remarkable presence, so are star flautist Magic Malik and two terrific trios involving Coleman. The merging of Coleman's impassive, pattern-twisting approach with jazz brass and the rhythms and sonics of a Brazilian percussion section ends up almost vivacious. Coleman is a formidable contemporary-jazz brainiac, but he can appeal to the feet, too. |
