Elevation presents four of the most creative jazz musicians today working at the forefront of contemporary jazz. The NYC based band epitomizes new jazz at its best, music that reinvents the idiom, a sound flux that grows out of the great jazz tradition but looks into the future.

Born out of the collaboration between Transylvanian expat, NYC based pianist & composer Lucian Ban and tenor sax great Abraham Burton and featuring bassist extraordinaire Brad Jones and modern master drummer Eric McPherson, the group has performed countless concerts over the years developing a boday of music that stands out wit hits originality. ‘Post bop that cranes towards the avant-garde without losing the buoyance of swing’ (Time Out New York).
