Steve Coleman and The Mystic Rhythm Society - Myths, Modes and Means

Myths, Modes & Means, grabado en vivo en the Hot Brass Club de Paris en 1995, contiene las estimulantes sesiones de jazz adictivo que acostumbra ofrecer el saxofonista Steve Coleman.
Sin embargo, en esta oportunidad, presenta una nueva banda, Mystic Rhythm Society que, además de contar con talentosos asiduos colaboradores como: los pianistas/tecladistas Andy Milne y Vijay Iyer, el bajista Reggie Washington y ;el baterista Gene Lake; suma a Yassir Chadly en voces y a Miya Masaoka en koto, cuyas exóticas participaciones son poco atractivas y un tanto forzadas.***1/2
