Alex Coke Biography
Award winning composer and instrumentalist Alex Coke plays flutes and saxophones.
Born in Dallas TX, Coke received his B.A. from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1976, with an emphasis on flute performance, before becoming one of the original members of the Creative Opportunity Orchestra and a touring member of the renowned Dutch ensemble Willem Breuker Kollektief.
With a distinctive sound and an inclination toward experimentation, Coke exemplifies the traditions pioneered by fellow Texas tenors and jazz flutists, while expanding the possibilities of extended technique.
His projects as bandleader include Live Action Brass Band, Leadbelly Legacy Band, New Texas Swing with Tina Marsh, and the post-bop quintet, The Worthy Constituents with pianist and composer, Rich Harney.
Coke's extensive discography includes his many projects and his work as a featured soloist with The Austin Jazz Workshop, Greezy Wheels, White Denim, Maryann Price, Accra Trane Station, KlezEdge, Reeds and Deeds, Alex Coke Carl Michel Sextet and many, many others.
"Coke... pulls out all the stops in a tough tenor workout ... his dense exposition making it seem as if he’ll soon burst through the saxophone’s metal body as well as splinter his reed."
Ken Waxman, Jazzword
Reeds and Deeds, Live at JazzCase
"There's no denying Coke's talent as a composer and orchestrator."
