The New York (slide) trumpeter Steven Bernstein has been a prominent member of John Lurie’s The Lounge Lizzards for ten years. In 1995 he introduced his group Sex Mob, a sensation in the jazz scene. With the wonderful Millennial Territory Orchestra, one of his recent projects, he will tell the story of a 100 years of American music history, from the Kansas City territory bands from the 20’s to the music of today. (Bass player Ben Allison can also be heard in the Bimhuis with his quartet on May 3).
