feat. David Gilmore (g), Gene Jackson (dr),
Uri Caine (p), David Binney (sax), James Genus (b)
| Comprised of 5 stellar musicians from New York, Global Theory
takes you on a musical odyssey to places past, present and
future. Drawing upon their vast collective influences of jazz
rock, r&b, funk and world music, their sound is unique and
refreshing - experimental yet accessible to all. Their material
ranges from soft, moody and enigmatic tunes to hard-hitting,
rhythmically explosive and harmonically innovative flights.
They have performed several successfull shows in New York and
have recently completed a studio recording featuring some of
their highly original material. In existence now for almost
three years, Global Theory's members include:

for his contributions to the ground-breaking group Steve Coleman
& Five Elements and the M-Base Collective, Lost Tribe, Trilok
Gurtu's Crazy Saints, The Don Byron Quintet, and most
recently with the great saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and
has recorded and performed with many others including
