	Jaz Coleman
		Jaz Coleman’s career is one of the music industry’s most diverse, oscillating between the white heat of Killing Joke and the world’s symphony orchestras.
		Jaz Coleman studied in Leipzig DDR in 1987 and Cairo Conservatoire in 1979 where he made an extensive study of Arabic quartertones, culminating in the recording ‘Songs From The Victorious City’ co-composed with Ann Dudley using the master players of Cairo.
		In 2001, Jaz Coleman was commissioned by the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden London for his first large scale opera entitled, ‘The Marriage at Cana’, which in essence is the gnostic theme of Jesus Christ and the Mary Magdalene, and her subsequent exile to Provence.

	Killing Joke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In late 1978, after Coleman was briefly in the band, he and Ferguson defected from the Matt Stagger Band and formed Killing Joke with Geordie and bassist/producer Martin "Youth" Glover.
		According to Coleman, their manifesto was to "define the exquisite beauty of the atomic age in terms of style, sound and form".
		In 1987, Coleman began plans for a solo record of unusual music, and he made demos of his songs, on which he performed with Geordie's assistance.

	Died laughing - www.smh.com.au
		Jaz Coleman ran away to Iceland in 1982, convinced that only the northern wasteland had any hope of evading an impending worldwide apocalypse.
		Coleman boasts that if you include his classical and Arabic records, he has made 38 albums: "I'm only 43, so next year I'm going to record five albums and catch up with my age." The cackle really is irresistible.
		Coleman then confides that he has also survived two marriages, has a 26-year-old girlfriend whose IQ is at least 40 points higher than his own, and is creating an all-women chamber orchestra from the members of the Prague Symphony and Czech Philharmonic orchestras.

	fUSION Anomaly. Jaz Coleman
		In 1982 Jaz began composition and orchestration studies that led him (five years later) to Minsk in Byelorussia and Leipzig in DDR and later still to study with Hungarian master Dr. Peter Saunders.
		In 1989-90 Jaz began a study of quarter tones and instrumentation of Arabic music at the Cairo Conservatoire and in the studies of the celebrated composer Ammar El Sherie.
		In January 1997 Jaz is producing, composing and arranging an ambient Aboriginal collaboration with the Australian Orchestra.

	Killing Joke - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Moreover, vocalist Jaz Coleman was full of his spitting psychotic self, opening up the album with his peculiar throat clearing noise, and ranting throughout the album on various topics, some clearly illustrated ("Money Is Not Our God").
		It seems that Killing Joke only arises when Jaz Coleman is incensed and angry enough to resurrect it, which has unfortunately become increasingly seldom throughout the nineties and well into the early part of the still very new millenium.
		Coleman, obviously feeding off the recent anti-Middle East hysteria (as he was born to Egyptian parents), has never sounded more forceful, emotive or downright angry in his entire life.

		Jaz Coleman was classically trained on violin, keyboards, orchestral arrangement and composition before "getting in with a bad crowd!" and forming Killing Joke in 1979.
		Jaz: "I have made many friends in Egypt over the years and have had many profound experiences in various parts of the country.
		Jaz, whose ancestral background is Hindu and Persian as well as English adds: "I identify musically and spiritually with the modern scales and atmosphere of Eastern music" and has created his own unique style of violin playing from these influences.

	Prague - “We’re all gonna die!”
		Prague-based musician Jaz Coleman is said to have the most diverse career in the music industry, ranging from his early punk band Killing Joke to the Symphony Orchestras of the world.
		Never one to run place for long, in 1982 Jaz began composition and orchestration studies that led him (five years later) to Minsk and Leipzig in DDR and later still to study with Hungarian master Dr. Peter Saunders.
		Coleman: Punk inspired me absolutely, because it was a renaissance where suddenly everybody could be in a band and everybody could play an instrument.

	The Prague Post Online
		British-born Coleman is best known as the singer and keyboard player for the experimental punk band Killing Joke, which he formed in 1978 at the age of 17, along with drummer Paul Ferguson, guitarist Geordie Walker and bassist Youth.
		Coleman's cinematic meeting with Cechomor member Karel Holas in the elevator of the Movenpick hotel mirrors their actual meeting in late 2000, when Holas requested a visit with Coleman after seeing him on television.
		Coleman was living in a conductor's apartment at the Municipal House when Holas came to see him.

	Perfect Sound Forever: Killing Joke retrospective
		Jaz rants and raves almost incoherantly, and the lyrics aren't reproduced in the booklet unlike the rest of the album, but the venomous sarcasm is clear.
		Jaz felt there was something left unresolved between him and Youth, and the result of their renewed collaboration was probably Killing Joke's most celebratory album.
		Jaz's extreme green political sentiments are on display in the title track, "Red, blue or yellow we will ridicule the green!" However its the storming rallying cry of "Savage Freedom" that really nails the Killing Joke ethos on this album.

		Coleman initially quit Killing Joke following a gig in 1982 - they day after he travelled to Iceland and announced his intention to become a classical composer.
		Coleman said keeping the two worlds separate was not usually very difficult.
		Coleman said that his first symphony had taken 10 years to write - "It's quite a long time to learn about orchestration" - although the second had been finished in under four weeks.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / No joke, industrial rock gods are back
		It's one of a few apparent contradictions: Coleman, who trained as a classical musician as a child, was the resident composer of the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra in New Zealand from 1992-95, where he sometimes lives.
		Coleman adds that Killing Joke's music -- as evidenced on its new eponymous disc -- is also about "the war that goes on inside, inner turmoil.
		"But," says Coleman, "when Dave heard the record, he said `I want to do all of it,' and we said `fair enough' considering the obvious history of the band." That is, for Grohl there might be a measure of payback involved.

		Mohi, half-Maori, half -pakeha (European), Jaz Coleman, the Anglo-Indian former leader of Killing Joke, and Maori master musician Hirini Melbourne are the team behind Oceania and its eponymous debut.
		Coleman suggested they work together, and prior to Oceania, the pair recorded Coleman's Second Symphony for Maori voice and orchestra, as well as Pacifica, with the New Zealand String Quartet.
		Coleman has just been named composer-in-residence with the Prague Symphony Orchestra, and he plans to work there with Mohi, as well as making a new Oceania record, which will be "more hardcore traditional," Mohi noted.

	[kj] Jaz Coleman lecture @ Columbia Hotel 31/08/1995
		By this reasoning, Jaz Coleman, Killing Joke singer or, as he prefers these days, "composer", seems to be destined for a place in the clouds.
		Eyes blazing beneath the brim of an Indiana Jones hat and flanked by burning candles, Coleman cuts an oddly commanding figure in the Regency Room of the Columbia, home to generations of bands.
		Coleman calls upon quotes from Spinoza, Mohammed, TS Eliot, and Nietzsche to add academic weight to the emotional battering-ram of his passionate views.

	Review: Killing Joke, Democracy - Joe Silva (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The road from pandemonium to democracy is as graceful an artistic leap as you want it to be or as twisted and pock marked as the coven of Republican candidates who have debated their collective self worth's.
		Jaz's sense of abandon was probably never afforded so much on vinyl resonance before.
		Geordie's work is impeccably paced and crafted for the heady environs that Jaz wants to create, but his embellishments are never fussy or overdone and he's the Joke's most reliable element.

	Killing Joke
		After recording and releasing the group's third album, 1982's Revelations, Jaz Coleman -- who had developed an obsession with the occult -- decided that the apocalypse was near, so he left the group and ran away to Iceland with Geordie.
		Jaz, who was allegedly on the verge of a nervous breakdown, left the group and ventured to Iceland, which he claimed was the place to be when the "big one" was dropped.
		A mixed bag, Jaz proclaimed the album "their best ever" (which he seemed to do upon the release of each new album) and "Let's All Go (To The Fire Dances)" was trotted out as the first single.

		Behind Jaz and bassist Paul Raven are a gaggle of Americanised European tourists, saying "when do we eat" in seven different languages.
		Instead, I'm treated to a spectacular private concert, a veritable wall of sound that Jaz is climbing in sputtering frenzy.
		A fifth Joker, in a fortress of keyboard and synthesizers, makes the room vibrate with sound; he's so unassuming in his 'crew' shirt, but so essential to the Killing Joke sound; in fact the fifth Joker is everything the other four are not.

		A self-professed workaholic, Coleman will be composing a huge orchestral work, involving 160 performers, about the Maori people for the 2003 America's Cup sailing competition in Auckland, New Zealand.
		On top of all that, Coleman has a commission from President Vaclav Havel -- "a man I greatly admire," he says -- to compose a major symphonic work based on the music of the Plastic People of the Universe to commemorate the 1989 revolution.

	TrouserPress.com :: Killing Joke
		Their Armageddon paranoia reaching its apogee, Jaz and Geordie fled to Iceland before the record's release (they worked with bands there, notably Theyr), and Youth left to pursue production projects (he ended up becoming one of the decade's most prolific remixers), effectively ending the band's first era.
		For his part, Coleman conducted classical symphonies from his home base of New Zealand and recorded an ambitious Middle Eastern orchestral record with composer (and former Art of Noise keyboardist) Anne Dudley.
		The crunching title track illustrates how Coleman's affection for Middle Eastern scales yields a Zeppelin-like rock result; those elements meld regally with Tangerine Dream-state synthesizer on "Labyrinth," while the exhilarating techno drive of "Whiteout" shows their acolytes how a Joke is properly told.

		(Apparently that guy also had club hits in England in the early 1980s but as you just learned my knowledge of the period is weak and thin.) Jaz Coleman was silly but he was fun to watch so nobody minded that he was silly.
