STEVE LEHMAN TRIO
Steve Lehman alto saxophone, Matt Brewer bass, Damion Reid drums
Steve Lehman, ‘one of the most exciting saxophone voices on the current scene’ (The Wire), creates intricate music of an astounding accessibility and urgency. Elements of hip-hop and electronic music form building blocks for his compositions. His new trio is passionately dedicated, often sounds like a single 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). Lehman has a special relationship with the Bimhuis and his concerts here have received rave reviews.
