Tuesday 2/2 – Steve Colson Trio’s The Untarnished Dream is Released + Saturday 2/6 – Release Party at Symphony Space
This Saturday night, Feb. 6, the Steve Colson Trio featuring Andrew Cyrille on drums and Reggie Workman on bass + Iqua Colson on vocals will perform at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia theatre at Symphony Space in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. This is the Colson’s first release since 2004 and Steve’s 5th album as a leader or co-leader. They previously led a group in the late 70s and early 1980s called The Colson Unity Troupe. See a beautiful feature on the Colsons in their hometown paper, The Montclair Times, entitled “The Colsons: life partners who make beautiful music together”. Be on the lookout for an article on Steve in the May issue of Down Beat Magazine. Time Out New York writes:
“Pianist Steve Colson is a product of Chicago’s AACM, the organization that birthed such staunchly experimental composers as Anthony Braxton and Henry Threadgill. Colson’s music sounds straightforward by contrast: There’s probing free jazz to be found on his latest disc, The Untarnished Dream, but also plenty of refined, hard-swinging postbop. Joining the pianist here is the sterling cast heard on the album—bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Andrew Cyrille and vocalist Iqua Colson.”
