The current edition of his longtime band is perhaps his strongest ever. Of particular note are Jonathan Finlayson, who has been with the group for the last eight years and is one of the most highly regarded young trumpeters in jazz; and Jen Shyu, whose rhythmically incisive and tonally exacting vocals Coleman employs as an equal part in the horn section. Completely defying the traditional role of jazz singing, Shyu s passionate vocals bring an emotional element to this complex and cutting-edge music. They are backed by an unusual two-drummer rhythm section featuring Tyshawn Sorey and Marcus Gilmore, considered by many to be the state-of-the-art in jazz. Prior release on Pi was named the #1 Album of the Year by Ben Ratliff in the New York Times. It also came in at #7 and #9, respectively, in the Village Voice & Jazz Times Critics Polls. Founder of the M-Base movement, which included such luminaries as Greg Osby and Cassandra Wilson. Recent profiles via NPR, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Jazz Times, Jazzwise, and All About Jazz. Features both Tyshawn Sorey and Marcus Gilmore, two artists considered state-of-the-art on their instrument, playing together in a rare two-drummer setup.
