Steve Coleman's Reflex Trio

Jez Nelson presents saxophonist Steve Coleman and his Reflex Trio performing at the 2011 London Jazz Festival. He is joined by pianist David Virelles and drummer Marcus Gilmore.

Jez Nelson presents saxophonist Steve Coleman and his Reflex Trio at the London Jazz Festival. Coleman emerged in the 1980s as one of the founding members of the M-Base collective and has become one of the most influential jazz musicians of the last 20 years. His music is characterised by complex rhythmic and melodic patterns derived from non-Western art and philosophy, and is most widely performed by his long-standing Five Elements Band. The Reflex Trio is a more recent, as yet unrecorded project. Joining Coleman are two young members of the New York scene: Cuban pianist David Virelles and drummer Marcus Gilmore.
