A French guitarist and composer, Gilles Coronado is a near-constant presence on the French jazz and improvised music scene. Influenced by the muscular and uniquely French jazz-rock fusion of the '70s zeuhl scene as well as European guitarists like John McLaughlin and Robert Fripp, Coronado has played and recorded with such bands as Thot, AKA Moon Electric, Urban Mood, Triple Gee, and Collectif Alka; as well as composing and performing music for a variety of theater and dance performances. His albums as a leader include 1999's Urban Mood. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi
