Anthony Coleman (born August 30, 1955) is an American musician. Coleman is a piano and keyboard (piano, organ, sampler, harmonium) player, trombonist and vocalist mainly working within the free improvised and avant-garde jazz scenes in downtown New York during the late 1970s through to the present day.〔Layne, J.: (Anthony Coleman Biography ), ''Allmusic'', 2007-07-17〕 During the 1980s and 1990s he worked with rising avant-garde star John Zorn on such seminal works as ''Cobra'', ''Kristallnacht'', ''The Big Gundown'', ''Archery'' and ''Spillane'' and helped push forward modern Jewish music into the 21st century. ==Career== At the age of thirteen, Coleman started studying piano with Jaki Byard. At the New England Conservatory he studied with George Russell, Donald Martino and Malcolm Peyton.〔Hyla, Lee. ("Anthony Coleman: Lapidation" ). Liner notes to ''Anthony Coleman: Lapidation''. New World Records.〕 Coleman's collaborators over the years have included guitarist Elliott Sharp, trumpeter Dave Douglas, accordion player Guy Klucevsek, composer David Shea, former Captain Beefheart bandmember Gary Lucas, classical and Klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer, guitarist Marc Ribot, bassist Greg Cohen, drummer Joey Baron and saxophonist Roy Nathanson. Coleman's own compositions and solo work reflect his interest and exploration of his Jewish background and Jewish musics. His groups Sephardic Tinge and Selfhaters in the 1990s explored both the lively, rich and exuberant musical legacy as well as darkly described the lamentation of a minority culture in Diaspora.〔Coleman, A.: (Anthony Coleman and Klezmer and Jewishness ), ''New Music Box'', January 1, 2005〕 Sephardic Tinge toured extensively, especially throughout Europe, in the 1990s and the early 2000s.〔 Coleman's ''Disco by Night'' is a work inspired by his visit to his family's homeland of Yugoslavia and was his first major solo record released by Japan's Avant label in 1992.〔''Shmutsige Magnaten'', in which he played the songs of Yiddish folk composer Mordechai Gebirtig, a victim of the Holocaust was also released by Tzadik Records in 2006.〔 It was recorded live at midnight in the oldest synagogue of Kraków, Poland, a few steps away from Gebirtig's birthplace during the annual Kraków Jewish Music Festival in 2005.〔Tzadik Website (Shmutsige Magnaten: Coleman Plays Gebirtig ), ''Tzadik Website'', February 2006〕 His duo albums, ''The Coming Great Millenium'', ''Lobster & Friend'' and ''I Could've Been A Drum'' with Roy Nathanson, mostly explore the fun, frivolous and joyous alongside the nostalgic hearts and minds of Jews in modern and old America. These recordings typify Coleman's "free" playing style as well as his multi-instrumental capabilities with him also operating samplers, trombones, percussion as well as piano and voice. Coleman and Nathanson have performed all over the U.S. and Europe.〔 Coleman is also an accomplished composer with many works being commissioned by numerous ensembles including the 2006 work ''Pushy Blueness'' which was released on Tzadik Records. Relatively recent activity has included a work for quartet, ''Damaged by Sunlight'', issued on DVD in France by La Huit, the CD ''Freakish: Anthony Coleman plays Jelly Roll Morton'' (Tzadik); a month – long residency in Venice as a guest of Venetian Heritage, a commission for the Parisian Ensemble Erik Satie: ''Echoes From Elsewhere''; tours of Japan and Europe with guitarist Marc Ribot’s band Los Cubanos Postizos; a lecture/performance as part of the symposium Anton Webern und das Komponieren im 20. Jahrhundert (Neue Perspektiven, Basel, Switzerland)and a commission from the String Orchestra of Brooklyn (''Empfindsamer''). He has been on the faculty of New England Conservatory since 2005 and Mannes College The New School for Music since 2012. His most recent CD is The End of Summer (Tzadik), which features his NEC Ensemble Survivors Breakfast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Coleman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
