STEVE LEHMAN TRIO

Steve Lehman, ‘one of the most exciting saxophone voices on the current scene’ (The Wire), creates intricate music of an astounding accessibility and urgency. Structures from hip-hop and electronic music form building blocks for his compositions. His new trio is fully dedicated, often sounds like one singular instrument and can hardly be compared to a traditional saxophone trio. ‘Lehman, who fuses adventurous postbop with contemporary-classical harmonic approaches, is an original thinker who will be one of the transforming figures of early 21st century jazz’ (The Guardian).
