The term "'''M-Base'''" is used in several ways. In the 1980s, a loose collective of young African American musicians including [[Steve Coleman]], [[Graham Haynes]], [[Cassandra Wilson]], [[Geri Allen]], [[Robin Eubanks]], and [[Greg Osby]] emerged in [[Brooklyn]] with a brand new sound and specific ideas about creative expression. Using a term coined by Steve Coleman, they called these ideas "M-Base-concept" (short for "'''m'''acro'''-b'''asic '''a'''rray of '''s'''tructured '''e'''xtemporization") and critics have used this term to categorize this scene's music as a jazz style.<ref>"…the word [M-Base] had spread. But it spread in association with the music, and so it became for them a musical style." (Steve Coleman, interviewed by Julian Joseph for BBC Radio 3 Jazz Legends, 2001)</ref> But Coleman stressed "M-Base" doesn't denote a musical style but a way of thinking about creating music.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m-base.com/mbase_explanation.html|title=Steve Coleman|publisher=M-base.com|access-date=25 November 2014}}</ref> Coleman also refuses the word "jazz" as a label for his music and the music tradition represented by musicians like [[John Coltrane]], [[Charlie Parker]], [[Louis Armstrong]], etc. However, the musicians of the M-Base movement, which also included dancers and poets, strived for common creative musical languages, so their early recordings show many similarities reflecting their common ideas, the experiences of working together, and their similar cultural background. To label this kind of music, jazz critics have established the word "M-Base" as a jazz style for lack of a better term, distorting its original meaning.<ref>e.g. The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, London/New York 2001, p. 739</ref>

Riga 30 ⟶ 23:

The M-Base concept reminds of the creative energy of the bebop originators, their loose collective, and also of their musical goals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m-base.com/the-dozens-steve-coleman-on-charlie-parker|title=cf. Coleman's article about Charlie Parker|publisher=jazz.com|access-date=6 July 2017}}</ref> The concept does not include "neo-classical jazz", [[free improvisation|free]] music without structures, [[fusion music]], music which isn't mainly improvised, or which is shaped with respect to commercial aspects.
