Steve Coleman's musical approach is unique. For this immense American saxophonist, playing cannot be dissociated from life and naturally belongs to a human activity anchored in reality. The vibration and energy released by music are parts of a whole that extends from the micro to the macroscopic. This almost mystical vision of jazz and particularly its live aspect has made Steve Coleman's reputation and success. To share it and communicate it to the public, he surrounded himself with a modular training called Five Elements, a true platform for artistic expression. Because one of the innumerable qualities of the gentleman is undeniably his infallible talent for unearthing new talents, and offering them the conditions necessary for the full exploitation of their creative potential.
