Gene Coleman
 
Precise, intellectual clarinetist/composer leads a new-music collective, Ensemble NoAmnesia (including bassist Michael Cameron, pianist Matt Long, and violist Shelley Weiss). He also installed the nice hardwood dance floor at the new HotHouse. Says Chicago Reader critic Neil Tesser, "as both a player and a writer, Coleman finds ways to temper his innate orderliness. He attacks his reeds gutturally, using throaty split tones at both ends of the instruments' ranges; he builds tension with ferocious displays of technique; and on about half his compositions he fires things up with select small explosions of improvisation."
