On the Edge of Tomorrow is the second album by saxophonist Steve Coleman recorded in 1986 and released on the JMT label.[1][2]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Steve Coleman's second recording as a leader introduces his M-Base music in its prime. Essentially creative and avant-garde funk, the performances feature dense but coherent ensembles and crowded grooves ... Not for everyone's taste, this frequently exciting set hints at a future that has not yet come."[3]
