Everyone talks about Steves drummers, but fail at really listening to him. The guy is a genius!

[@normanlove3919]

Gene Lake killin! Steve Coleman's always got the best drummers with him

Coleman uno dei più grandi contralti di sempre

[@robertkscorpio3680]

Love the way Coleman Swings and Funks at the same time over this Groove ! And the Drummer !

[@JazzFan4life]

Steve , Gene and Andy all do their part but for me it's Terry on the bass who locks the whole groove down . Great stuff .

ja het was diezelfde avond uitgezonden op tv. ik had het opgenomen op een videoband, maar die ben ik kwijtgeraakt, jaren later heb ik het 'archief beeld en geluid' net zolang lastig gevallen tot ze me de dvd van die avond hebben gestuurd

[@AbstractMan23]

great upload thanks! got any more?

[@MoechtegernPimP]

hello. I'm wondering about the composition. Is is just a bassline and the band improvises? or is there some chord changes on top that they follow?

[@JUANCARPENTERO]

I think it's all improvised

[@Rogermc]

this is the m-base concept of making music. steve could explain it better. but in my limited and vague understanding of it; the idea is; there are a few 'parts' to the 'song' they've practiced/ agreed upon, but they 'guide' each other through 'sonic language' ... Sometimes there are signals to go to a next part, or, more broadly; basicly talking with eachother with their instruments, having a conversation and improvising, extending the arrays, that is why no 2 performances of a 'song' will render the same. Also in this way of spontaneous improvisation they are not really able to make mistakes, they do what they feel like and the rest of the band reacts in the moment.

[@AbstractMan23]

i'm not a musician but it sounds pretty structured to me, with unison parts and sections following other sections. the more you listen you can hear how structured it is. fantastic, instense music!

[@krimmohamed5539]

trop complique pour toi laisse tomber

[@mbaseconcepts]

@@Rogermc No, it’s all structured and tonal. AND there are spontaneous elements also. It’s tonal, just not always major-minor tonality, or not always European modal tonality. There are always constellations of rhythms, melodies and pitches. And we can definitely make mistakes. We are not just doin anything. I would say that the overriding principle is “balance”.

[@JUJJAMAN]

Smitty was the best. Easily the best, but they are all dons.
