In the first, he analyzed the movement of the various synovial joints of the human body ? how they pivot, flex and bend, contract and relax ? and applied those features so that the music flows not just in a linear fashion, but with cyclical spin or rotation. In camouflage orchestration, which is inspired by the sounds that Coleman recorded in the desertcart rainforest, he pays particular attention to how instrument sounds can be distributed so that they are perceived to be in the foreground, middleground and background, much as the layered sounds reveal themselves in the rainforest. The New York Times recently named Coleman ?one of the most influential figures in the last half-century of improvised music? and, in awarding him the so-called ?Genius Grant,? the MacArthur Foundation called him ?Influential well beyond the scope of saxophone performance and composition, Coleman is redefining the vocabulary and vernaculars of contemporary music.? Always looking forward, Synovial Joints is further evidence that Coleman remains at the vanguard of expanding the possibilities for musical expression. Review: A hands down winner. - This one really impressive, a compliment hard to make given the range and scope of all of Steve's work. This still meets the bar set by, and goes a bit beyond, his previous work in many ways.The arrangements for such a multi-faceted line up really shines. Steve's compositional talent is on full display, along with his own, and all other's that were involved, instrumental prowess. The cats can play! Engaging and still explorative after all these years, this disc gets my vote as 2015 best jazz release of the year. Quite well recorded to boot. Not merely an intellectual excursion by far, amidst all of the layers that continue to unfold after multiple listenings, virtually all of this still swings and feels great to just listen to if you like your jazz apart from radio-friendly "light" jazz.Utterly engaging. Nutritious music for the mind, soul and body. Review: Steve Coleman: A Giant of this Time - Steve Coleman one of the most important American musicians of the last 30 years. I know I'm not alone in realizing this. I followed him years ago when he was developing the M-Base style of composition which incorporated a funk sound with poly-rhythmic beats; this may be an oversimplification because he pulls in a lot influences in a creative and intelligent way. Moving forward a couple of decades or so and he puts out "Synovial Joints". Better critics than me use the words "collective improvisation" to define his current approach, which is not knew in jazz music. Just check out Ornette Coleman (no relation to Steve) and John Coltrane among others. What he does here is put a modern touch to this style and comes up with something totally new. I am too lazy to dissect each track, but this album should be heard by those who like high art. ## Images ![SYNOVIAL JOINTS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VbXsQel9L.jpg) ![SYNOVIAL JOINTS - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NWmZTvIFL.jpg) ![SYNOVIAL JOINTS - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613T4eIRCpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hands down winner. *by V***A on May 31, 2015* This one really impressive, a compliment hard to make given the range and scope of all of Steve's work.

They serve him well. This ia like a tour through his story but with more elements and man it is a lot of fun, had to smile several times at how wonderful the musicians are and how clever the arrangments are. 64 paths moved me and this recording does also. In its way beautiful. Relentless man Steve Coleman. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/15732525-synovial-joints](https://www.desertcart.id/products/15732525-synovial-joints) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
